Thanks mak, that helps. It is frustrating that the CDN edition really
doesn't provide any pertinent info. Perhaps you can help further, once the
CD matures, is there a way to automatically transfer amounts to other
accounts/investments? I have 5 years worth of monthly investments that will
be maturing each month, and re-invested into RRSP's. Will I have to manually
transfer the amounts, or is there a way to set up an automatic xfer. I
assume at maturity that the CD is returned to the associated cash account?

Thanks Again,

Use CD (Certificate of Deposit) to mimic a GIC. For the RRSP, use IRA
(401k I think will also work, Money doesn't do a particularly good job
distinguishing which should be used if you are a Canadian). The last real
Canadian version was 2000 and since then Money has been a hybrid of U.S.
Money with no specific changes that pertain to Canadians. This will
probably be the case for the foreseeable future.

I am trying to set up a retirement account that my employer contributes to; a
5 year guaranteed interest account. Even tho I have the CDN edition, all
banking info and retirement account info is for US users, no CDN info
available. Is this the same for '04 and '05 versions?

What type of retirement account should I be choosing for the GIC (the 401K
perhaps)? The account is just over 5 years old, so there are bi-weekly
contributions from my employer, plus on a monthly basis, there are transfers
out to RRSP's because of the maturing 5 year old deposits (the employer
recently changed from monthly contributions to bi-weekly).

Thanks for your help,
