If I don't get my letter before the long weekend (today) I'll be so disappointed. My grad studies won't release the info before NSERC does, so I'm at the mercy of the mailman! Did your Grad Studies contact you, or did you have to ask them about it?

So you have to wait to June. I think you will get it. Many people will refuse CGS/PGS cause they change mind, receive an offer for a job or win Vanier !!!!

They will receive a letter in June that include : 1) The 2 recommandation letters 2) The note given by each reviewer on each category : (Academic, research and Communications) as well as the averaged mark 3) They will also told you if your application had been discussed in Ottawa (in February) or not ! Note : An appliucfation is discussed in Ottawa if and only if the two marks are different between both reviewer ! Edited April 5, 2012 by eliasg Ironmonkey66 1

Note : An appliucfation is discussed in Ottawa if and only if the two marks are different between both reviewer ! Yes, I requested feedback on my PGS application last year (you can email NSERC to request the feedback, whether you get the award or not). However, I did not receive any comments from the reviewers or individual scores from the reviewers, just the averaged score in each category and my ranking by the committee. I also received copies of the two reference letters (which was a weird thing to read!!). The letter I received said: "In view of the large number of applications, the selection committee members are not asked to write written appraisals of individual applications." It also said that the two reviewers were in agreement about my application, so the application was not discussed in Ottawa. I wish there had been reviewer comments (this would be more useful for me than knowing I got 53/100 for academic excellence!), but I definitely understand how much more time consuming that would be for the reviewers.
