Understood Loonie. I think I will invest $94980 and choose annual pay option for non registered account.
Can I do the same for registered account? My limit is $67999. Is it better not to take money out from registered account if I don't need? Or stick with annual pay option for both?

I would not take money out of registered account unless there is a need to put it somewhere else or spend it. It's better to let it compound. With about 68K, this will not be an issue for five years at current rates but you may need to reconsider when it matures - you may need to split it up at that time and put it in two different FIs.

There is no need to go above the CDIC $100K (Banks) and FSFA $250K
(Ont. Cu's) limits for investment GICs. You can follow the rates and
spread the money between financial institutions...
e.g. $95K, @5%,5yrs & Interest Paid Annually for Banks.
It takes some time and planning to minimize your risk and that is the value of this informative web site !

they change the T&C I guess ? This is on their original email promo:
*Terms and conditions apply. This special GIC Rate Offer is available only until March 1, 2023. Applications and funds must be received on or before the deadline. This Offer is valid only for new deposits. A minimum investment of $1,000 is required for this promotion. Only applies to personal accounts. All GICs are non-redeemable. Wealth One Bank of Canada, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to modify or terminate this Offer at any time, without notice. Rates are subject to change without notice. For GICs with a term of more than one year, interest is paid through one of two options of your choice 1) interest is compounded on each anniversary date of the GIC and then paid on the maturity date; or 2) interest is paid annually to the savings account opened for you on your behalf. For terms of one year or less, simple interest is calculated and paid at maturity. Deposits are eligible for Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC) insurance.

I have always had to phone W1 to receive the annual interest payments. Had to purchase the GIC first, then phone them to change to the annual payments.

That is a good cash flow strategy (if W1 is a cash strapped FI) to avoid paying out interest payments to depositors before ultimate maturity in 5 years.
I would much prefer receiving annual interest payments on any terms more than the one year - not one lump sum at end of 5 years. I believe you have to pay income tax annually on the year's accrued interest even if you only receive all the interest at maturity in 5 years.

You're right about the tax treatment, CRA site says "Interest on a compound GIC is paid when the investment is cashed, and not annually. The income you report is based on the interest you earned during each complete investment year. For example, if you made a long-term investment on July 1, 2021, report the interest that accumulated up until the end of June 2022 on your 2022 return even if you do not receive a T5 slip. Report the interest from July 2022 to June 2023 on your 2023 return."

Is it possible they misunderstood your question?
You are not asking for "redeemable". You are asking for annual payout of interest only, to a savings account which they will set up for you for this purpose. From there, you can get the money out by pulling it from another FI.

That CRA text is poorly worded and only applies to what is defined as an "investment contract" in Income Tax Act subsection 12(11). An investment that compounds annually or more frequently is not an "investment contract".
Interest on a GIC, like Hubert's one-year term, that compounds quarterly is reported as each quarterly interest payment is added to the principal.

Norman1, I'm not clear what you mean. Below is the link from where the CRA wording was taken, in a section dealing with GICs, even specifically mentioning those over 1 year where "Interest on a compound GIC is paid when the investment is cashed, and not annually."
Sticking with the CRA example, are you saying the CRA example regarding the July 1, 2021 purchase is incorrect re the first 2 years of a 5-year GIC where all interest is paid at maturity? If so, how should the interest income be reported in the 2 years outlined in that example, assuming it's a 5-year GIC as described?

Depends on the compounding of the GIC. These are when each compounded interest payment is reported:
| Tax Year 2021 |
Tax Year 2022 |
Tax Year 2023 |
|
| Annual compounding |
July 1, 2022 | July 1, 2023 | |
| Monthly compounding |
July 31, 2021 August 31, 2021 Sept 30, 2021 Oct 31, 2021 Nov 30, 2021 Dec 31, 2021 |
Jan 31, 2022 Feb 28, 2022 Mar 31, 2022 … Dec 31, 2022 |
Jan 31, 2023 Feb 28, 2023 Mar 31, 2023 … Dec 31, 2023 |
| Monthly compounding |
August 1, 2021 Sept 1, 2021 Oct 1, 2021 Nov 1, 2021 Dec 1, 2021 |
Jan 1, 2022 Feb 1, 2022 Mar 1, 2022 … Dec 1, 2022 |

So you're saying more than it's just "poorly worded". You're saying the following statement, specifically about GICs that compound monthly for example, is in fact incorrect:
"For example, interest on a compound guaranteed investment certificate (GIC) is earned on a monthly basis and is automatically reinvested, earning compound interest until the bond is cashed or matures...................The income you report is based on the interest you earned during each complete investment year."
You're saying the "complete investment year" part is an error when you're talking GICs, correct?

That's right. The "complete investment year" part does not apply to GIC's and bonds that compound or pay interest annually or more frequently.
