In mine, I had kept it as simple as possible, but where warranted I included a 1-liner of information. It is called a "list" of accomplishments, after all, not a resume or CV.
I especially included it when the jury may not know the context of the award or accomplishment being listed.
E.g.
X Scholarship, for excellence in the area of Y Studies
or,
News Editor, ABC Journal
Responsible for research, writing and editing of four page news section in biannual journal.
For a TAship - most TAships are very similar, you may not need to list your duties, unless you did something particularly outstanding like a guest lecture or taught an actual component of the syllabus.
My own headings (again, this was for Fine Art - tailor it to your discipline):
1. Publications, juried / Publications non-juried
2. Exhibitions, juried or curated
3. Honours and Awards, Academic / Honours and Awards, Professional
4. Co-curricular activities
Overall advice: keep it as simple, straightforward and clean as possible - the jury has hundreds to go through! Make the accomplishments speak for themselves as much as possible.

Hey, thanks - this is good for me actually, there was an old prof I didn't want to ask, but I've been hesitant to ask my new supervisor because she doesn't know me well yet. But this justifies the ask!

Agreed, your thesis is not an "accomplishment." I received the OGS for both years of my Masters, for Fine Arts. I listed merit scholarships, ones that were adjudicated competitions; I had been on the Dean's Honours List, that went on. I also had a few short articles published, so I listed those. I listed juried or curated art exhibitions - again, anything that had a process for being vetted. I had some professional awards (not scholarships) from clubs/societies, and I listed important or relevant volunteer/community work e.g. I was selected to jury a competition, I was a publication editor.
Just make sure you have relevant sub-headings. In fact, the SSHRC is more specific about how to organize - you can take a tip from their website.

Where on the SSHRC website does it say this about having one reference be your supervisor? I didn't notice this!

Last year, a friend who applied directly to sshrc for Phd received a rejection letter dated Feb 23. But that timeline may be irrelevant this year..... It's immanent, anyhow.

Anyone applying directly to SSHRC (i.e. not currently in University) for PhD? Hear anything yet?
Not hopeful....

In Canada there are a number of options - not sure about International students, but many students receive funding here.
Look into:
Ontario College of Art & Design, Interdisciplinary MFA
Concordia University, Open Media MFA (or Special Individualized MA - make your own program)
Nova Scotia College of Art & Design, MFA
Concordia houses a research centre called "Hexagram," an interdisciplinary media arts research lab:
