GIC is a good source of fund to show under general as well. But as you have already applied for the refund which you will get sometime real soon so i would now recommend you to go for loan if you are applying again. It takes about 10-15 days for loan to get passed.
Cheers!

It may take upto 8 weeks for the GIC to be refunded in your bank account.

Hi every one

I am totally new to this forum and need some senior members to help me.
I will be making my GIC payment for 10100 $ tomorrow but i have a few doubts :

1) is it necessary to make the GIC payment from a account that is in my name, i will be actually making the payment from my mothers account.

2) Since the scotia bank saya that they need 10100 $ how much should i wire transfer considering that intermediary banks will debit their processing charges as well.

Kindly help.

Thanks

Re: complications in GIC account.

Hi initially...
U have to transfer this 10100 CAD from your account...thats mandatory and no changes on that,for the refund (in case of rejection) they will refund to the candidates account.so for avoid future issues,better u start a new account ,it will take maximum 3-5 days and be safe..the amonut 10100 CAD is the amound that have to invest in u r account.so u have to consult with u r bank for get to know the other details.,because the rate varies from bank to bank...so u have to pay all other extra charges including service charge and all . Make sure that 10100 CAD + other expenses u paid ,because lesser than this amount causes refund.

Initially when this process (GIC) started, there was this confusion as it is mentioned in their guideline. However, many people transferred funds from their Father's , brother's account and had no issue at all.

Secondly, about the charges, it will be a T.T, your bank will do the needful for you, you don't have to worry about it. 10000 is for GIC and 100 is the admin fee. About transfer fee, you are supposed to bear that. If they receive anything less than 10100, they might not process your GIC (most likely won't process).
