simulatedReality Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 It's January and the results of the competition will roll in any time. Lets share the updates as they roll in. Fingers crossed!
AN1 Posted January 14, 2021 Posted January 14, 2021 Hey. I also applied this year. Good luck to you!! Btw did you get any email about access to "Extranet for NSERC Competition Results"? I did not get it but read under another post about someone getting this email.

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?

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.

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.
charlink Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Can CGS/PGS be used in a master program (MSc)? If my supervisor wants me to get a MSc first and then PHD (can write a letter to NSERC), can they allow using the first 2 years fund of CGS/PGS on the master program?

AFPPP Posted January 25, 2021 Posted January 25, 2021 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. AFPPP 1
liammo29 Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 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.

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.
AFPPP Posted January 26, 2021 Posted January 26, 2021 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

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

AnG3L Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Hi guys, I also applied this year. Fingers crossed. Please do share if you receive any email from NSERC. Did anyone also applied for Banting?
simulatedReality Posted January 27, 2021 Author Posted January 27, 2021 (edited) Just have received this email from NSERC. a heads up ... the notifications will be sent out shortly, this email says by Jan31 ! Edited January 27, 2021 by simulatedReality
AnG3L Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 I also received the same email just few minutes back. Fingers crossed. Good luck guys.
liammo29 Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 Are we thinking this means results are coming today?
simulatedReality Posted January 27, 2021 Author Posted January 27, 2021 Most probably, The email says "buckle up"... I am feeling Butterflies in my stomach :)
AnG3L Posted January 27, 2021 Posted January 27, 2021 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?
