This weekend after I read Five Plus Investor SA article "Navigating the Wild, Wonderful World of Canadian Corporations (Formerly Trusts)" I collected data about canadian companies that increased dividends during last 5 years.

Data from Toronto Stock Exchage (TMX.COM) show that following companies increased dividends during last 5 years (with unknown patterns):

I also tried to collect dividend data for companies included in The Claymore S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend ETF (TSX:CDZ) that suppose to be similar to David Fish CCC list.
Some of companies included in CDZ are traded in USA and Canada:
Company Name Symbol (Canada) Symbol (USA)
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAY CO . CNR CNI
CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY LTD . CP CP
ENBRIDGE INC ENB ENB
IMPERIAL OIL LTD . IMO IMO
TRANSCANADA CORP . TRP TRP
ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC - CL B RCI/B RCI
SHAW COMMUNICATIONS INC SJR/B SJR
TELUS CORP . T TU
others trade in Canada only.

Unfortunately I was able to figure out dividends (at Yahoo.com) only for about half of companies traded in Canada. The following companies steady increased their dividends during last 5 + years:

Company Name Symbol (Canada) Symbol @ Yahoo
CAMECO CORP . CCO CCO.to
CANADIAN NATURAL RESOURCES LTD . CNQ CNQ.to
CANADIAN UTILITIES LTD CL A NON-VTG CU CU.to
COGECO CABLE INC SUB-VTG CCA CCA.to
COGECO INC SUB-VTG CGO CGO.to
ENSIGN ENERGY SERVICES INC . ESI ESI.to
FINNING INTERNATIONAL INC . FTT FTT.to
FORTIS INC . FTS FTS.to
HOME CAPITAL GROUP INC . HCG HCG.to
INTACT FINANCIAL CORP . IFC IFC.to
KEYERA CORP . KEY KEY.to

SNC-LAVALIN GROUP INC . SNC SNC.to
TALISMAN ENERGY INC . TLM TLM.to
TIM HORTONS INC THI THI.to
TOROMONT INDUSTRIES LTD . TIH TIH.to

I was not able to find dividends history for other firms included in Canadian Dividend ETF at yahoo.com and I did not tried to find dividends history for other companies from TMX list.
Toronto Stock Exchage provides histories for prices (in CAN$) for each stock but at least I didn't find dividends histories.
If you know good (preferably single) source for such info - please email me.
