My application shows "Received" on the NSERC website. I am already a PhD student at the University, half way through my second year, I never heard about an internal selection system for current students, are you sure about this?

Every university has a quota of NSERC PGS/CGS D applications that they can submit to NSERC after internal review. labcoat777 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double check with your university. I had a friend who had to apply externally (research portal) because his university didn't have an internal process.

What is your university? I have friends in grad programs across the country and the internal review seems to be pretty standard. Many schools even give those who are nominated/sent to Ottawa a last look at their application to fix any issues noted by internal reviewers.

They will be able to clarify whether your application was forwarded to the national competition or not.
