NSERC PGS D 2021-2022

[abdelrahmanayad]

The wait is terrible! I know they won't announce the results until mid-April, but I've started to check the portal almost everyday!

Anyone know about when we can expect results?

I would imagine mid April. Last year it came out on 16th April i think

[abdelrahmanayad]

I emailed NSERC today and here is their reply:

"Hello,

 They are expected to be released in April. Unfortunately that is all the information I have at this time.

 Sincerely,"

I would guess we'll have to wait another 3-4 weeks. Oh well..

I wish at least they can specify beginning, mid or end of april. Once april 1st hits, i will be wondering everyday when the results will be released ~~~

Shout out to NSERC for sending a survey at this point in the year... My heart skipped seeing an email from them in my inbox.

hahaha what was the survey about, about whether their result date is ambiguous? >.<

Hi, I have noticed that my NSERC portal has updated in the 11th february. I guess that was the competition week for final round. Perhaps, in that case we will have our result on time around in mid April. How about others regarding the latest date to update your portal? You can check in the bottom of your application page of NSERC application that you have submitted.

Hi Everyone,

This is also my second time applying to NSERC PGS-D. Last year I got my results on April 15th. They seemed to have done it by last name and by research subject code. I guess we will be posting here more by the third week of April. Until then!

I thought last year it was delayed due to Covid, so hopefully we get it back sooner?

I really hope so. They're releasing this year's masters awards on April 1st, so maybe that's a good indication.
Does anyone know when did they release last year masters awards? Is there any correlation between the announcement date of the two?

[Pouty_Scouty]

As of today, my school (Carleton) is still saying that we 'should' know by the end of March but who really knows. I assume we would have received some sort of update from NSERC by now, if that were the case.

From the responses in this thread, CGS-M 2020 was released on april 15th ?

That's a good sign! I guess it means the delay last year due to COVID-19 is not affecting these year's results for the CGS-M, and, hopefully, for the CGS-D as well

This page gives a pretty clear timeline for the notification of the CGS-D/PGS-D results: https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/StudentDeadlines-EtudiantDatelimites_eng.asp

If you take the external application deadline (Monday, October 19, 2020) and add 23 weeks, that's exactly today, Monday, March 29, 2021. I assume that the results for internal applicants are announced around the same time.

Received this response from NSERC today:

"Hello,

All applicants will be e-mailed once the results have been finalized. Usually this happens mid to end of April."

End of April?! Aye yai yai..

[MarleyBarley]

I just dont know why its so hard to give a fixed date like they did for CGS-M...

I could be wrong, but isn't CGS-M decided in-house (i.e. by the university itself)?

You're right! For CGS-M, you can get a different decision for each university that you listed on the application.

I assume you are talking about PGS-D/CGS-D, right?

It's very strange why they would even publish a timeline if they are at least 2 weeks late anyway...

Yes, this was in response to the PGS-D/CGS-D competition. I agree, it seems odd that they provide a timeline but don't necessarily stick to it. Perhaps they take pleasure in torturing grad students?

That's very strange, It usually doesn't come out mid to end of April. My understanding was that they came out before CGS-M, at least that's what I think has been the case historically.

[jennakinskywalker]

I'm also a Carleton student and was really hoping to hear by now! I know the CGS-M students find out tomorrow through the portal (which seems WAY easier). It was my understand too that PhD finds out before Masters. Oh well.

I thought the same - that it usually comes out mid to late-March, with last year being the exception due to Covid. I actually don't expect to receive an award as this is my first year applying and I've been away from academia for 6+ years. But I sure would like to know either way! Oh well, I guess it's back to the waiting game...
