Yes, I received it on August 26th, 2020. I would give them a call to get access to the extranet, if I were in your shoe.
Will they notify us via this extranet site?

I am not sure. Till last year, they were sending the results via snail mail. But I did hear that they might be using Extranet this time to go paperless. Lets see.

Thanks. 
I think this years success rate will be very low, firstly, due to the potential budget cut caused by the pandemic situation and secondly, due to the removal of the "once in a life-time" eligibility requirement for the fellowship application.

I agree. A lot more applicants this time with the relaxation in eligibility requirement. I read somewhere that they send out acceptances before the rejections. Lets see if we hear something in the coming week.

I contacted NSERC and they said the PDF results will be announced via email at the end of January. So maybe next week?

Good luck to you all!

I also emailed them today and they said results will be sent out next week.

I also applied this year, nothing yet. So, this year results will be sent out by email or snail mail?

They have a new Extranet website, where I got my PGSD covid extension notification last year. chickadee02 mentions above that they will send it via email at the end of January. 
So, most probably it will be an email notification that will ask you to log in to Extranet website to see the result.

Eagerly awaiting results as well. Kind of disappointed in how long it is taking. Maybe we get them today.  Very curious to see if there was an effect on the budget or a major uptick in the number of applications.

I'm glad the letters won't be travelling via snail mail this year :) Last year: decision letters were dated Jan 27th and rank letters Jan 31st. I didn't receive mine in the mail until Feb 4th and 11th, respectively.

I sent an email yesterday and they said results are not available yet and candidates will be informed via extranet. I also mentioned that I do not have any account and they said account information and instruction will be included in an email

Thanks for sharing! Did they, by any chance, mention if they plan to release the results before the end of January?

First, it's a big "IF"... So "if" someone gets the award, can that person avail it somewhere else? (e.g., not in the school that was listed as potential host)

Any thoughts on this? 

It's possible, but it needs to be approved. See here: https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Students-Etudiants/Guides-Guides/TriRTA-TriBFR_eng.asp#changeinstitution
