numz Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 It's the last week of Jan, has anyone heard back from NSERC yet? ?
pm123 Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 it looks like it is only the two of us here ? hope we hear from more people and my hypothesis of late notice means bad news is wrong.
numz Posted January 29, 2020 Author Posted January 29, 2020 I emailed NSERC and got an automated response that the notification of decisions got mailed out just today. Fingers crossed!

Fingers crossed! Thanks for the update! With that, we should expect the results in few days. I also contacted our graduate funding office and they told me they don't receive the results as the PDF applications are sent independent from the school.
pm123 Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 I received the NSERC mail today. I was not offered an award.

Hope you are still able to secure a postdoc successfully! I still haven't received mine yet, west coast problems.
volatile. Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Are we supposed to be notified by e-mail? I still haven't received anything. Also on the west coast!

Did you get your results? Are you fixed on doing a postdoc or perhaps looking to join the industry as well?

I received it in mail on Jan 30 and today (February 3rd), I received the ranking results in mail. Also, I live in Montreal; maybe that has to do with the quicker delivery.

I did, I didn't get it either I had actually just left industry (after 1 year) to do a postdoc, but thankfully, my prof can fund me for atleast 1 year. I hope your PI is able to do the same!
numz Posted February 7, 2020 Author Posted February 7, 2020 They send out the results via snail mail. I am in Vancouver, and didn't receive it until last Friday. I still haven't received my ranking.
M.Attia Posted February 10, 2020 Posted February 10, 2020 I live in Montreal and I did not get anything so far!! How did it go with you? Were you accepted?

I live in Montreal and I got mine on Jan 30 and my application was not successful. If you haven't heard from them by now, it is likely that you are not accepted. It looks like they send the acceptance letters sooner (more like in mid Jan) rather than later.

They mistyped my apartment number and both envelopes were returned. They sent me a copy by e-mail yesterday. I am on the shortlist of alternates. So I think my chances are very little. I don't think they will get more funds and I don't believe someone would reject his/her offer. Are you on that waitlist?

I believe people reject their offers if they get a more prestigious scholarship or a professorship - so really hoping for the best for people in my category so that I can get the NSERC. ?

chickadee02 Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 I'm waitlisted in committee 169. When I emailed NSERC for more info, they said that waitlist results will start to be sent out in April. If anyone gets off the waitlist, could you please post that here? Good luck to all other waitlisted peeps! RCJ 1

Good luck as well!
