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? 

Offcourse it possible to change institute later on, unless you want to stick to the institute from which you got/ is going to get your PhD.
A friend of mine changed his institute after getting the award.

Thanks guys. It's very helpful.

Apparently they don't ask for the reasons as long as the new proposed school is willing to host you which is great.

Just received two additional emails with my credentials for NSERC Extranet portal.

No results yet. It says they will notify us once the results are available.

Guessing that they will not send email over the weekend, it should be tomorrow, the last weekday before January 31st !!

Anyone received the results yet? I noticed they updated the folder today in my Extranet account but I still can not see the contents.

My answer is in: I did not get it. I did not receive an email telling me the results were in. It says it was updated at 10:38. There is no score nor ranking, just this message: "J’ai le regret de vous informer que votre demande n'a pas obtenu les résultats suffisants pour être financée; vous ne recevrez pas de bourses." ("I regret to inform you that your application did not receive a sufficient score to be funded; you will not receive a fellowship"). Good luck to y'all, maybe if your file is not accessible yet, it's because you got it!

I haven't received any notifications yet (after I got my Extranet's username and password), but I just checked my portal and a letter is uploaded showing my ranking against other applicants in my field. The letter says: "Thank you for submitting an application to the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) 2021 Postdoctoral Fellowship (PDF) program. During the review process, what is ultimately judged is your application’s merit relative to that of the other applications received. Your ranking for each selection criterion, as well as your overall ranking in the Selection Committee for Scholarships and Fellowships Selection Committee for Mechanical Engineering can be found below."

Then a few general info, and signature!

Does this mean I'm rejected? I'm confused!

Just wanted to update that I received the NSERC postdoctoral fellowship (Selection Committee 197 for Electrical Engineering). Got the notification letter directly on Extranet (no email notification though).

For me, the file was titled Notification of Results and it clearly stated that I was offered the award. Maybe wait for some time for another letter? You should definitely be clearly informed.

[OR25]

Congrats to everyone who was successful! I just saw my results and unfortunately didn't score high enough to be funded (committee 169). Does anyone know if we can access what our scores were or will those be sent in another letter?

[CivEng]

Didn't get it. Committee 201. Rank 19/63

Shortlisted in committee 201. Based on my rank, less than 20% of applicants were awarded a fellowship. Last year's success rate for this committee was 24%.
