I have a GIC maturing Oct 31 and they wouldn't hold the rate for 2 days for me. Are all FIs getting like that nowadays ?

A similar thing happened to me with Oaken a couple of months ago ... they didn't want to hold the rate for me, and it was only for one (1) day.
After calling back and talking to a supervisor for almost 15min, they finally caved and gave me the higher, expiring rate. Requesting "a little discretion", seemed to do the trick.

I found an Ontario CU that said they would hold the special term rate for 45 days on Monday. When I started in 2018 they said they would hold the rate for 30 days. I went searching for extra cash to buy a 120 day term deposit. After 15 days I called them and purchased the 120 day term. I actually gave them too much. It was tight cashflow for some time. Life is a learning process. Every day. I have a GIC maturing 29th. I will transfer to HISA until January when I will merge with other funds. Maybe I should see if they will hold the rate for 30-45 days.
Have a Great Day

Couldn’t you buy the GIC now to get the current rate and fund it after your existing GIC matures? I’ve done that before with Hubert, I believe they allow something like up to 30 days to fund a GIC after opening it
(I couldn't find that information anywhere on their website though, someone might want to check with a rep to confirm the exact number of days, but I've definitely funded a GIC within 2 weeks of opening it before)

It's a GIC within a RRSP so I can't contribute to new RRSP funds as I'm at max for the year so this would put me over. But that's a great idea, thanks for suggesting.

Do you put the extra $2,000 in RRSP for overcontribution?

That's another great idea! Unfortunately I'm already at max overcontribution !! It's only 0.1% difference so I'm just going to suck it up. I was thinking of transferring 10,000 of it to Saskatchewan Pension Plan but decided to just continue with Hubert.

I just realized I could have probably created a new RRSP account at Hubert before the rate went up, and left it unfunded at the old rate for a few days, then transferred the money over today. I accidentally created some extra unfunded RRSPs at the new 1.8 % rate, so I'll see what rate they show next time rates go down.
