I just wanted to thank the person who first mentioned the ability to purchase a 35 month GIC with Motive at the 2 year interest rate. (versus 36 months at 3 year rate). I searched the site without finding who that was.

You have to go into your account with them. Look under "account services"
then "term deposits" From there you select the GIC and the term that you want.
So 24 months to 35 months and so on.

BTW it not ONLY Motive that has a range for a term.
Another FI that provides a range for a specified GIC rate is BMO
e.g.
4 years - under 5 years 5.35% (48 months-59 months by my understanding)
https://www.bmo.com/main/personal/investments/gic/gic-rates/

And yes, thank you to the original posters who pointed this out.
It is a valuable learning from this forum.

Has anyone taken advantage of the Motive GIC offer where the Interest can be paid out monthly? If so, is the monthly Interest equal to Annual rate/365*days in month.....or is it less due to being paid out monthly instead of yearly.
