This is pretty insulting to Canadian schools. So you figure your alma-
mater is a second rate institution Brad?  As for multiple scholarship
levels from NSERC this just aint so.  It is possiible to take your
NSERC scholarship outside the country if:
 1. You state the name of the institution you wish to hold it at and
 2. You can demonstrate that that institution has some facility or
    program of studies not available in Canada.
This is what the NSERC guide and our (ex) graduate secretary says.

Where did you get your information from?
