yes, you can redeem them and likely you will lose the interest you would've earned from that GIC. It's as simple as walking into a bank and having the Branch Manager override it. You shouldnt have to live in a cardboard box just to so you can keep earning that 2% - 3% GIC interest per year
is it in an RRSP? no problem, claim its "financial hardship". They dont need proof of it. But it would affect you with your taxes as it's considered income.

I really don't get you and your bent against financial advisors. Frankly, I tell my clients to take money out and even (gasp) to retire at times. Does that decrease the amount of money they have with me? Of course it does...but its the right thing to do and in the best interest of the client. In all honesty this whole idea that you're running of "advisors won't tell you" is just plain ridiculous and offensive.
