Is the GIC held in an RESP that has your daughter as the beneficiary?
As long as the interest is earned within an RESP account, then it is exempt from taxes, until your daughter withdraws the earnings/interest for her studies.
And the withdrawn income will then be taxed at your daughter's tax rate, not yours.
All registered accounts: RESP, RRSP, RRIF, RDSP, TFSA, LIRA, LIF, LRIF, all have the same feature- As long as the growth interest, dividend or capital gain is inside in the account, there is no Tax implications.
