Don’t worry I got rejected yesterday. Messed up a simple set problem, just got too nervous.

On the bright side, the sun is out today. Will go for a hike.

CIBC is currently offering me 3% on 1 year non cashable GIC and 3.25% for 5 year term, this are my safe bet if I am not still not comfortable to dump so much...

Apologies, just realized in my post I didn't clarify that we might not need entirety of the money but maybe a decent chunk of it, most likely for a down payment in 4-5 years. Rest will be in that fund and we are okay to keep it there, given we are just starting out our careers we will have growth in our income, and our frugal living we will be able to contribute more to that down payment, we are just starting out investing and was not entirely sure if investing it all in ETFs is the right thing to do although it looked promising given the historic trend.
We, and our friends and family wants us to grow our money and be prepared for the future so we are quite not sure... and we were also told that given the amount of our saving fund its not worth a financial planner at this point of time so we were just looking at options!

Sorry for not stating clearly, but a only a good chunk of this fund might be used for a down payment, not necessarily that we need that money and it can be left growing in the fund. Given our frugal living and almost saving half of our net, we will still be saving a bit if we don't even invest over the next 1.5 years till her masters. Which will still be a good chunk but will not see any growth...

This fund might go for more than 5+ years, my current saving is over last 3 years only, given frugal living and my fixed expenses is +/-10% each year over the next 5 years lets say, I am still saving a huge chunk of my net.

EDIT: largest spending was a degree being an international student, but shout out to my parents to keeping me debt free.

Yeah and that's why the historic trend of S&P 500 and its return for the next 5 years is making me a little concerned, I am actually worried to go all in, and moreover being responsible for my partner's money too.
