India, Nov. 6 -- The Canadian market gained modest ground in positive territory Friday morning, supported by gains in healthcare, technology, energy and materials sectors. Shares from other sectors turned in a mixed performance.

Stronger-than-expected U.S. non-farm payroll data aided sentiment. Strong gains posted by big-name U.S. tech stocks contributed as well to the positive mood in the market.

In addition to digesting jobs data from Canada and the U.S., investors also tracked a slew of corporate earnings announcements.
