How it works
With the CIBC Student GIC Program, you can transfer $10,000 CA to $20,000 CA.
Here’s an example:
Transfer $10,000 CA with no foreign currency transaction fees.
When you visit a CIBC Banking Centre, we’ll deposit $2,000 CA into your account.
We’ll invest the remaining $8,000 CA into your GIC Program account
You’ll get the full amount back plus interest in 11 equal payments over 1 year.
