As the source gives it

What a surprise usually does

Above the forecast: An unexpected rise would usually weigh on the Canadian dollar by pointing to more labour-market slack and a potentially easier Bank of Canada path.

Below the forecast: An unexpected fall would usually support the Canadian dollar, especially if it comes with solid hiring and stable participation.

In line with the forecast: The Canadian dollar would usually move little unless employment, participation or wage details shift the overall jobs picture.
