Can I claim a GIC contribution on my income tax

So I wanted to open an RRSP before the March 1st deadline to reduce my tax owed amount for 2019. I called my bank and did so. It's a GIC (I know next to nothing about RRSPs so I went with the safest option), and I'm wondering if I can claim that contribution on my 2019 taxes... They didn't tell me I wouldn't be able to but now I'm wondering. Thanks.
