USD/CAD here is the price of one US dollar in Canadian dollars, so a rise means the US dollar strengthened against the Canadian dollar. The series is Yahoo Finance’s daily one for USDCAD=X; currencies trade over the counter, with no central exchange, so this is one data provider’s quote, not an official reference rate such as a central bank’s daily fixing.
