Canada's S&P/TSX Composite Index rose 0.2% to 26962.42 and the blue-chip S&P/TSX 60 advanced 0.2% to 1603.37.

OpenText's shares declined 5.2% to 39.16 Canadian dollars, equivalent to $28.67, after the company said Chief Financial Officer Chadwick Westlake would return to digital financial-services firm EQB to become chief executive officer.
