I got the Vanier scholarship, whose results were released on April 6th, and still did not hear anything from PGS-D...

Same!! Good luck to everyone in this thread! I will be declining the award if I was granted one when the results come out!! 
Best of luck you guys

Congrats to the Vanier winners.

So my university sent an email saying the results will be released April 15th. But they also said "Vanier Canada Scholarships and Tri-council PhD results will be announced once the agency has provided an updated timeline".

So I don't know if they actually know the release date or just basing it off the mid-April autoreply email from NSERC

I don't think they know the exact release date but April 15 is a safe answer....it could be that huge swaths of students emailed your univ admin instead of NSERC and they just grabbed sth to shut them up....

Has anyone else heard back from NSERC / SSHRC / CIHR or their university admin?

I was hoping for today -- because the results were given on a Friday last year (tomorrow being a stat holiday).

My supervisor told me yesterday that in the department meeting the dean told them that NSERC results should be coming next week

Maybe Friday the 17th (to match their standard day of release).

17th is no longer mid-April......again how hard is sending out emails to approx 1700 applicants ? You never know...just look at how they messed up the Phoenix Pay System...

Mid-April could be the middle week of April (or anytime next week).  ?

I love how we're all over analyzing the word mid-April ?

You know what..the only sensible explanation here is..between making this Easter the best Easter for some and making this Easter the worst for many, NSERC picked the middle ground by making this Easter the most boring and average Easter for all....

Congratulations on your achievement!

Was there a date for when you need to response to the offer by? I am currently on the waiting list and am curious about what the timeline could be like.

Thanks. The deadline for the offer response is April 22.

Happy Easter everyone!  Talk to y'all next week, when this process starts all over again. The analyses of "mid-April" have been fun!  ?

Easter Monday is a federal stat holiday -- so I think we can all exhale, knowing we wont hear anything until tomorrow at the earliest!

Why don't they just tell us the date and time like they did for the CGS-M

Maybe, but I feel that's a lot of hopes and dreams to crush at one time

Maybe because we are PhD students...they expect us to handle the uncertainty better.....
