The Canadian universe of quality dividend paying stocks is relatively small. One very good passive strategy is iUnits Dividend Index Fund (XDV). The screening is done for you, the costs are very low, and you get excellent diversification within a somewhat undiversified Canadian market.

If you choose an active strategy, the ways to screen for candidates to are somewhat limited. One of the best screening tool requires you to be a client of TD Waterhouse. The Globe and Mail provides a screen on yield but then you must have access to additional data to assess the stocks identified by that screen.
