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 |

TRANSCANADA CORP . | TRP | TRP |
ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS INC - CL B | RCI/B | RCI |
SHAW COMMUNICATIONS INC | SJR/B | SJR |
TELUS CORP . | T | TU |
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 |

HOME CAPITAL GROUP INC . | HCG | HCG.to |
INTACT FINANCIAL CORP . | IFC | IFC.to |
KEYERA CORP . | KEY | KEY.to |
PASON SYSTEMS INC . | PSI | PSI.to |
SAPUTO INC . | SAP | SAP.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.
