I remember it was 31th all the time.

lets start bugging grad studies :DD

I have no idea why I keep checking this forum every 10 minutes as if NSERC is going to publish results here

Former one.

Are you also from McGill? I am not in Canada right now so I am not sure who to email for this

Do you think the departments will release PDF results as well?

Is there any chance that PDF results are released by the universities?

I am just happy that NSERC has no more excuses in holding my rejection letter in their office, figures crossed I will get it in mail tomorrow.

Live from CBC.ca

Actually the budget stated moving tax credits to grants in R&D

So it seems there is no big cut to grants and R&D

The only thing is McGill never informs applicants of their awards. I have won NSERC two times and I got informed by mail all the time.

No harm in asking, I bet they will have them by 4PM

))) guess this is NSERC's way of generating a friendly environment between grad students . I wonder how long will it take for them to send the letters since the budget is already announced. They have us all ranked so its just a matter of printing letters.

I have one page open writing up my new paper, another page open writing up my thesis, another page open editing reviews for my recent papers but am here all them time ))

The same here, I agree with you.

Guys lets not divert the topic of this forum to language and race fights, there is few people writing in French here and I actually assume they are more comfortable with it. We can use google translate if it is hard to understand.

WOW they have been very unfair to PDF applicants, 50% cutoff!!!! Guess the PDF acceptance rate is going to be 5% this year. No reason to give people 70K for banting, if someone has a good application then they will just get any postdoc or faculty position they want!!

BTW, I dont think you can find a research position since it is very rare and seldom they post open positions for that, my fiends all got development jobs.

I am ECE and my friends got jobs in IBM, AMD, Synopsis brachs in Toronto. But I know of may mechanical Eng's as well which got jobs this year.

Yeap, the only good thing is the job market is really good now, all my friends found jobs I guess a good job market is always better than some low paid scholarships that end up in useless degree's -if there are no jobs-. BTW where are you guys planning to take your awards?

Thank for your reply, the rules don't say anything about when you should have become a citizen they just say citizens can take their award out of country. But I guess they mean at the time of the application.

Wen ever I login to my yahoo mail there is news about the budget report and cuts: http://ca.news.yahoo.com/fed-budget-slash-7-billion-discretionary-spending-cp-044457051.html not goood I guess we shouldn't have complained about lat year.

Does anyone know when FQRNT PDF results are in? I was not a Canadian citizen when I applied but I just got my passport can I take my award out of country?

He says he has CGS3d from 2011 to 2014!!! I think CGS3D should go from 2012 to 2015.
