I think we're technically 2013-2014... because it's related to the year people will take up the award. So... no. Since Vanier and NSERC have recently come out, they may know, but it will be several months until it's entered into a spreadsheet (since people decline, change schools, etc.) 

With the link it's better .... http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/results-resultats/stats-statistiques/index-fra.aspx

Hey all - I'm in AB, and nothing in the mail today for me. Maybe tomorrow for us Western Canadians?

I got it too!!!! SO excited.

I did read that the duration was one year, and that to be eligible, you can't have held another SSHRC at the master's level. Just asking because of something I heard/perhaps misunderstood.

Thanks for your patience, spinrah.

You guys don't read the instructions when you are applying for a major award that determines your financial future? :|

You can't receive the JA Bombardier for both years of your Master's degree, its duration is only one year. It's written on their website.

FYI, I know that of the two students sent to Ottawa from my University, both of us were successful.

I come from a small university.

OMG OMG OMG

At this point, I would not expect any news until June 1st (Next Friday). I have said it here previously, but based on their twitter feed it seems that the results usually come out on Friday's. In addition, as someone on here mentioned, a grad office stated that they were told by SSHRC that results would not be sent out until May 31st at the earliest.

Further to my email in February, the results of the SSHRC Masters Awards are expected to be released by SSHRC in the next few weeks. I would like to wish you the best of luck and hope for a positive outcome.

If you are successful and receive an award offer from SSHRC, please read SSHRC’s instructions carefully and adhere to all deadlines. Successful candidates wishing to activate their award at the University of Toronto can find further instructions below.
If you plan to hold your award at another university please contact them directly as their instructions will be different.

I don't think anyone's posted this, and I don't know how helpful it might be, but this is from SSHRC's Latest News section, dated May 7. The relevant excerpt is:

From: http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/news_room-salle_de_presse/latest_news-nouvelles_recentes/sshrc_news_may_2012-nouvelles_crsh_mai_2012-eng.aspx

So I guess this means they already know who'll get the awards, we're just waiting for them to mail out the results.

Welcome to the SSHRC master's gang, Aion!

Every time this topic is bumped, my heart skips a beat and I immediately assume someone has heard news from SSHRC. Good things come to those who wait.
