Sorry to hear about that. I am also in the UK and waiting for the PDF results. Can you please tell us about your stat?

I am not in a situation to believe it. Probably NSERC denied due to the over qualification. Did you apply for Banting? I think you can easily win Banting. Your profile is even very suitable for a faculty position.

But they ask to mention the submitted paper with manuscript number.

It is very much shocking!!!! 13 first author journals were not enough!!!!! What is your area of research?

Does it mean that your referees did not write strongly to support your application? Your profile seems very strong to me.

Sorry to hear about that. If a referee can not write strongly then he/she should tell the applicant about it before writing the reference letter. However, I believe that you will get whatever you deserve. Congratulation on your awarding PhD and wish you all the best.

Journal of Applied Physics is highly ranked journal (just after the APL) in the field of applied physics. Are you working in the area of semiconductor?

Does it mean that one of your referee was not well known or high profile? Or the referee did not write strongly to support you. I am again afraid. First of all both of my referees are from outside Canada, they are not well known. Also, I do not know what they wrote? :( However, I hope I will receive my letter by coming Friday.

Your profile looks very strong too me. If I compare my profile with yours then my application is not even worthy for IRDF .

Congratulations!! An IRDF is also good. Can you please tell us your stats?

Does it mean that you are in the waiting list? Did they offer you IRDF?

Congratulations!!!! Can you please give some idea about the next steps? I mean, if you accept the IRDF how to find out a company? Is it very easy?

15 user(s) are reading this topic increasing ...... :D

I hope you have a strong possibility. I am a PDF applicant too and my profile is almost similar to you. However, I have to wait ~10 more days to receive the notification letter because my address is in UK.

In that case you have to stay here ~10 more days. My contact address is in UK and Easter break in UK is till next Thursday :P
