Don't forget how much tax there is on interest. It adds on to the top of your earnings and is the highest taxed of three investments of dividends, capital gains and then interest. Capital gains are taxed at 50% of the gain, which would be half the tax. You also have the potential of making two gains with only one investment, being a capital gain on sale of the security along with the dividends paid out over time.

My view is you don’t need to worry about 100K limit with the big 5 Canadian banks . If any of those go bankrupt it’s doubtful the insurance will pay out anyway . Ie would mean whole banking system has collapsed. For smaller banks like oaken , eq… for sure stay within 100$ k including expected interest. If you really want to spread money around with big banks get a trading account . I use Itrade and can buy gics from different banks . I also use TD direct and can do same .

My twin brother and I have been investing since we were teenagers. We're both in the same line of work and have had close to the same incomes. We're now 58. He went the GIC route because as he says he "likes to sleep at night and not worry about volatility". I invested in stocks and mutuals and even with the ups and downs of the market I now have 3 times the amount he has. His only worry now is if he'll have enough to retire on. GIC's are good over the short term but if you have time on your side stocks and mutuals are a better bet.

@@LivinginCanada Rate cuts cannot happen due to hyperinflation created by mindless printing of trillions of dollars/euros out of thin air all these decades by all western nations. What prevented hyperinflation all these decades despite printing 'fiat" currencies out of thin air? Reserve currency status which is going to come to an end due to impending currency reset (fiat to pegged). All western currencies are "isotopes" of USD. If the USD devalues, all currencies including CAD cannot escape. Capital trimming is the only way out. CBDC could be enforced for earning and spending control.

You’re getting $4500 over 2 years. No offense, but that isn’t that good.

Sure, you are paying tax on the gains but you could make way more than $4500 over two years. At 3.8% including tax rate of 23% here in my province, you could earn about $10500 a year by investing 100k with his method :)

Originally I was doing that but after talking to a financial advisor, they recommended I invest in insurance company's GIC or Market Link GIC. The reason is because all insurance companies in Canada are required to join Assuris. If one insurance company go belly-up, Assuris members will take over your policy and recover up to 90%. $10m investment for example, you can recover up to $9m. Much better than CDIC's measely $100,000.

a Guaranteed Investment Certificate is sold by a bank, with an interest rate, and protected against loss by the government. You will get the principal and the interest upon maturity. Bonds are more complicated and are not guaruanteed. You can lose prinicipal with a bond. A bond is a product sold by a company that pays an interest rate for a specific term, usually renewable on a fixed term, say 5 years. Typically a bond is sold at a $25 face value, with the interest based on the $25 face value. The bond may be called back by the seller on the maturirty date for the face value of the bond. Where things go bad are- 1. company does not perform- the bond may lose value because bond interest may not be paid- 2. interest rates rise, in 2020, bonds paid 4% interest, GICs paid 2%. Now GICs pay 5%, the value of the bond has fallen from $25 to say $18 in order to compete with GIC interest rates. So, you lost value, unless you keep the bond to maturity ($25). If you buy that bond today at $18 to get that 5% rate, as interest rates fall, the value of the bond will increase again and you will get capital appreciation. Now is a good time to buy bonds, becasue there should be some capital appreciation, although that is not guaranteed. GICs are better for short term savings, especially if buying a house, Bonds are better for long term savings, say in a retirement plan. Typically, during a bad recession, bond values increase, people then sell some to buy depressed stocks, so they are an important product to consider. You can get GICs at the bank, Bonds are purchased through your stock broker.

well, no sh!t that's what 5% is. How much do you think that $1000 is going to generate otherwise? Also, with a GIC there is zero risk.

You can apply for PR anytime, you don't even need to be in Canada. Anytime you can set up what's called an 'express entry profile', within which there are different streams. If you have foreign work experience, you may be able to apply under the Federal Skilled Workers stream. Once you have 1 year work experience in Canada, you can apply through the CEC stream.

😢There's one more risk when you invest in GICs. It's an opportunity cost. Buy shares of Bell Canada, Scotiabank, and Enbridge for average dividend above 7%. It's not guaranteed and more risky than GIC. But consider their dividend payment records and history of raising dividend payments. Also, the stock price may go up. When you have 1000 dol. to invest ,it's GIC. But even 20 000 dol. I'd consider 10 000 in GIC and another 10 000 into dividend paying stocks. Dividends are taxed preferably compared to GICs in non registered accounts. Therefore, another risk worth mentioning is taxation.

@LivinginCanada 11 месяцев назад
If you're looking something that's principle-guaranteed, there are shorter-term GICs, e.g. 6 months. Just makes sure to check if it automatically renews or not, and if you don't want that to happen, let your bank know in advance that you don't want to renew. Cheers!

you could make the same returns, just get an MBA and make investing your money your full time job. it's possible that the bank lost money on the 10k i loaned them (bad mortgage maybe) but they're still going to pay me the 5% interest on the GIC i bought. That's the draw. at 5% it still beats inflation. no one is going to get filthy rich off of a no-risk investment.

In this day and age, the more money you have the more you stand to loose. You become a target. Never trust a bank and NEVER trust anything that is government issued such as RRSP's, GIC;s, TFSA's. The interest you save is nothing compared to the interest you will pay whenever that time comes!!!
