I used a T2033 form and sent it in so that 1 gic of $100 000 has been transferred to home bank and the other two GIC totalling 20 000 remain with hometrust thereby insuring all 120 000, not just 100 000. If Home Capital closes, (which I don't think they will) the CDIC will pay you your principle and interest up to 100 000 per account. No claim needs to be filed.The Boomer and Echo blog has a recent article on how cdic insurance works.
Thanks for the info re Boomer and Echo!
I have GIC's with HomeTrust,and although totally not worried about getting my money back should the worse case scenaio happens....I was concerned that it may take many months and reams of paperwork.Nice to learn that its painless and quick!
Armed with this knowledge,I would not hesitate to renew....if the rate was attractive enough!
