I was told by my university my SSHRC CGS payment would be delayed due to the mail strike...sigh...
Has anyone else started receiving payments?

I just found out my score...Category A - 25.7/30
Hi
I found out from my Graduate Studies Department today that I received a CGS! My second time applying - I applied last year and got wait listed. I received a MA SSHRC. I was wait listed for the MA, too; my peers received their notifications in May 2009 and their funds in Sept.; I found out I was put on a wait list in May of 2009 and they notified me in Jan of 2010 that I received one & my funds came in Feb.! - so hope for those of you that are put on the alternate list for MA anyway).
Discipline: Indigenous Studies
1st year PhD Program
2nd time applying
MA average: 93
4 peer reviewed publications (3 articles/1 co-edit of a university press book)
4 conference presentations (2 invited)
9 non-refereed contributions (articles/documentary/guest lectures)
2 RAs for SSHRC funded research
1 letter from my current supervisor and 1 letter from one of my current professors.
2 major external scholarships/a number of smaller ones
My proposal was significantly better than last year with more focus & clarity. I had a clear research question and ensured I pointed out how there were gaps in the current scholarship on my topic and how my research could fill those gaps. I had 3 professors give me feed back on the drafts of the proposal (I did at least 10 drafts too!). Hope the info helps someone!

I'm still waiting, but now it is the university that's holding things up. My start date was May 1st. I called SSHRC and they said they sent the payments to my university on June 9th. I called my Grad office and, initially, they said the mail strike held things up. Now, it is administrative; they said maybe - sigh - maybe this Friday. I know my fingers are crossed....
