Just in case you didn't know : the Michael Smith form doesn't appear right away when you open the portal, you have to click "Create new form". (But I don't believe the form has anything to do with the fact that we got the award or not. Don't worry about it). Is there someone in Yellowknife who can open the letter for you ? Maybe you should contact your school, they might not know now about the results but they sure will be notified soon. If you explain your situation, I'm sure someone can tell you about the results without waiting for the mail.

You can update your address though to make sure your letter comes to the US rather than to a Canadian address... violabec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are successful, you would just need to get a signature from your training/graduate studies director so that SSHRC is informed of your standing in the program. They can then go through with the payment process for you and they will deposit it straight to your bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnert Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 (edited) For the last few years SSHRC has announced on twitter when the letters had been sent out. An applicant this year pointed this out, and SSHRC "liked" the tweet. See also LAST YEAR's mail-out announcement tweet. Setting a push notification for @sshrc_crsh might be an idea.
