Yes, you can, you have to explain to them that this is the study and living expenses also print a screenshot of the CIC website and some GIC details from scotia bank to convince them. I hope it helps and I hope they will be convinced try to find out some relations in the bank too so they can help you. if still, they are not convinced then you have to open up a foreign currency account to send the money.
NOTE: The account for sending GIC will be on your own name and the address you have provided as your mailing or living address by creating the GIC account should be the same address that you will write on the form while submitting GIC so also keep its screenshot with you. I hope it helps.
PS: For opening a foreign account you must be filer and registered under FBR with NTN.
