stud007 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 How long did you have to wait to get the feedback? I emailed ~7 days ago and nothing yet. I think you have decent chances ranked in #3! I think it will take more than a week to get the feedback since they r very busy lately..I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradStd Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Did anyone reacieve any notification from NSERC about award upgradation, e.g., PGS to CGS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmoor Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I just called NSERC and they said PDF waitlists have still not been notified but should expect their letters shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowtulip Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just checking if any successful applicants holding their PDFs outside of Canada have seen any signs of funds yet? I put Apr 1st as a start date, but haven't yet received anything. Although the PDF is certainly appreciated, I wish NSERC realized how difficult they made it for us. With the award counting (at least in part) against my salary I'm nearly back to living on mac & cheese! And I won't even mention the complications on the university's end I had to sort out to ensure I didn't lose my benefits! Good luck to others in the same boat!

sand_bag Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Mo' money mo' problems! Sorry, no sympathy from a guy who didn't get the PDF .. I'm sure it'll get sorted out.
