Expand Why it didn't got forwarded? @Fazi and when did you know that, was it at the early stages or when results were revealed? Edited April 5, 2023 by Mmsa
SG1993 Posted April 5, 2023 Posted April 5, 2023 Were there years that the result came early (like one week ahead) than the anticipated date of notice?

Anticipated notice of decision: 2023 - April 11 2022 - April 6; Result came out on April 7 2021 - none; Result came out on April 6 2020 - April 7; Result came out on April 7 2019 - April 4; Result came out on April 1 2018 - March 30 - April 5 Looks like we'll just wait on April 11 or later.

s945 Posted April 5, 2023 Author Posted April 5, 2023 Nice work! @SG1993 I hope we don't have a 2018 situation. That is too much! 😭 On the other end, we could get results tomorrow at noon. We'll see
sh25 Posted April 6, 2023 Posted April 6, 2023 So nervous I'm having a hard time focussing on other tasks! Anyone else? Or does anyone have advice on how to deal with these nerves? Mmsa 1

And I'm trying not to think about the future or envisioning past the 11th. For the moment, for each day, there is only today and tomorrow. Mmsa and BlueOwl 2
Fazi Posted April 7, 2023 Posted April 7, 2023 @Mmsa I'm not sure why it didn't forward! The university did not assign me a rank and only provided a very generic explanation! But later I discovered (based on my own review of previous winners) that in recent years they only forwarded students in their second year of PhD, not their first! Except for the grades I received in my first year and two or three conferences, I couldn't add much to my application this year, but it was forwarded! (Perhaps because I was already in my second year??!!) - I am not sure! And last year, two weeks before the final deadline, our university announced the internal results, and I was not among the chosen. Those chosen had two weeks to finalize their applications and submit them to Ottawa. Like this year! Mmsa 1
s945 Posted April 10, 2023 Author Posted April 10, 2023 Maybe they want to show strong ties to the university community? Or it could be that they don't want to have the same person try twice? Like if they don't get it the first year, then they would have to send them the second year. Might as well send in the second year when the application is going to be stronger. It makes sense, I guess. Also, the countdown begins... 26 more hours. Fazi 1

Expand Yes, I can't stop thinking about the result! In case of my university, you've mentioned good points, but I think it doesn't seem quite fair to make someone wait until their second year to potentially win a scholarship, especially if they have a strong application and could have won it in their first year. It feels like they would be losing out on the $50,000 they worked hard for in the previous stages. It would be better if the award was truly based on merit (Vanier's criteria), whether it's in the first year or the second year. Anyway! Best of luck for all of us!!

If I get it, I'm planning on taking 5 years instead of the 4 years for my degree to use up the full 150,000. No way, I'm graduating "on time" and throwing away 50,000. Edited April 10, 2023 by s945

Expand How do you know the exact date?? 26 hours to go? Is it released at the same time as CGS-D? My school only lets us apply for Vanier after our first year of PhD, so I've only applied for CGS-D right now...anxiously awaiting that but I had assumed they'd be released at the same time.
s945 Posted April 10, 2023 Author Posted April 10, 2023 @Cdn_Psych_Today Read through the previous posts on this thread. The date, times, and links are listed many many times.
BlueOwl Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 Today's (hopefully and apparently) the day for the Vanier results ! Good luck everyone 😄🙏 SG1993, s945, Fazi and 2 others 5
s945 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Lots like there might be nothing today. The results are late. Edited April 11, 2023 by s945
BlueOwl Posted April 11, 2023 Posted April 11, 2023 Ugh that's sad, ya I don't think we'll be receiving anything today either. Well then...tomorrow's the big day ! (Hopefully 😅😂)
