booksnlooks Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 My results will be sent to my parents' place in Ottawa (given my lack of permanent address) and they haven't received anything yet. I'll post as soon as I hear something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luna1 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Hi! Does anyone know what the "SSHRC secure site" is? I feel like this is something I should know but I've checked my SSHRC portal thing (that looks like a bad dos website from the 90s) and my form isn't even there, it just says "Nothing to display"...

TheGlaze Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Yeah, does anyone have any specifics about what they mean by "SSHRC secure site?" Luna1, I think its normal for it to say nothing for now. If they do indeed mean the portal thing when they say "SSHRC secure site", then I suspect it will be there as a message. In the meantime, I suppose we just continue to check...

Hi Luna 1, Yes, I'm pretty sure that by "secure SSHRC site" they are indeed referring to the "portal thing": https://webapps.nserc.ca/SSHRC/faces/logonFellowships.jsp. It looks like we are all still getting the same message under the portfolio tab, which states "nothing to display." Based on the info emailed to a few folks from SSHRC, we should all have a message on the portal by the end of week to let us know if we have received an award or not (in addition to the letters that they are sending us in the mail).

beebop Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Could the "Secure Site" refer to what's on this page: https://secure.nserc.ca/u_e.htm ? In which case, it doesn't seem like we will have access to it : "It is intended for use only by university administrators and business officers who have registered and been assigned a User ID and password by NSERC or SSHRC" Edited April 22, 2015 by beebop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea that webpage existed! Good research skills. Anyways, I'm going to keep checking the portal thing, fingers crossed they will post news there.

bentharbour Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It seems odd that nobody has received a letter as of yet. If they were sent yesterday, I would assume Ottawa-based folks would have it today. Not everyone can be a late afternoon delivery! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is strange that nobody in the Ottawa region has received their letters.

I'm new to this thread and I hate to make accusations, but has this forum had issues with trolls before? Not particularly. Several people have emailed SSHRC to ask about their applications and each received a response indicating that the letters were sent out Monday afternoon. ineedfun(ding) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abreak Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 It's possible that SSHRC didn't send out all the letters at once. I imagine they have 1000-2000 total letters to send out (acceptance, rejection, & waitlist). If they're sending them out in batches, it wouldn't be surprising if people in the Ottawa area still haven't received them yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critcrim Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm from Ottawa. Mail delivery came and nothing from SSHRC. I really doubt that we will get results this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crimsoc Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 Just called my faculty of graduate studies awards office and they noted that they have yet to receive the list of successful sshrc students but they are waiting for them and will email notification of results as soon as they hear back from Ottawa.

Anthrogal Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 If they went out late Monday afternoon it is possible that even the students in Ottawa will not receive anything until tomorrow. I am anxiously stalking the online portal. My e-mail said results would be there 'later this week' while it looks like others were told the 'end of the week'. Hopefully by Friday we will all be able to access our results via the portal and the agonizing wait will be over. Sigh.....at this point I just need to be put out of my misery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightin'Irish Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm having serious doubts that anything was mailed out on Monday. I'm having the same doubts. It's almost comical how speculative/cryptic this whole SSHRC process is! But it does seem odd that no one has received notice if the letters were posted Monday; Canada Post is bad, but not that bad! Anyhow, I just read through this whole thread and I thought I'd make an account to wish all of you fellow SSHRC-waiters well. I was fine until I read this thread now I'm all nervous. I just want to know at this point. Best wishes everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solala Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Not particularly. Several people have emailed SSHRC to ask about their applications and each received a response indicating that the letters were sent out Monday afternoon. Although I'm new to this thread (this year), I concur with crimsoc. Everyone who has posted the news from SSHRC about the mail-outs this week seems really solid, and non-troll like. I do think, however, that SSHRC might have some internal communication issues (as do most big institutions), with the employees responsible for social media/twitter going on different information than the employees who respond to applicant email inquiries. On what appears to be the same day, the former group said that "results will be announced in May" and the latter claimed "this week." These types of communication issues are very typical in organizations like SSHRC, with people getting fed different information at different times, and updates/changes being hard to keep track of. Still, my best guess is that we were indeed sent our letters this week and will (hopefully) have news very soon (at least from some of you in Ottawa).

Jeremie_montreal Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I just got an answer from SSHRC. They said the results have been sent the 20th April. I wrote in French, so the answer is in French. the same response like the others'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solala Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I'm clearly obsessed now, but just wanted to share that according to Canada Post, delivery standards for regular mail (the slowest postal service) is 2-4 business days between major urban centres. The "up to 10 days" listed by SSHRC is likely considering applicants in rural and remote locations, but most of us should definitely get our letters this week. Okay, I'm going to shut up now. Wish you all the best! Jeremie_montreal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konstantin Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) Oh, this thread brings back memories...I remember visiting last year's SSHRC thread probably dozens of times a day and refreshing the damn page, and even more so once the results have been mailed. I know bentharbour and crimsoc are with me on this one . Regardless of the individual outcomes, it will be a huge relief once you receive the letter! Hang in there folks, not much longer now! Way to support each other through the process and keep the spirits strong. Thank f*** for threads like this. Best of luck to everyone!
