April 10 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose to a five-week high on Friday as domestic data showed subdued jobs growth and investors weighed prospects of a peace deal in the Middle East, with resource and technology shares among the biggest gainers.

The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX Composite Index ended up 218.05 points, or 0.7%, at 33,695.76, marking its highest closing level since March 4.

For the week, the index was up 1.8%, marking its third straight weekly gain, after a two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran bolstered investor sentiment globally.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance departed for "make-or-break" negotiations with Iran, even as Tehran insisted on measures before peace talks could take place, throwing last-minute doubt over the meetings scheduled in Pakistan.

"If there is a more lasting agreement over the weekend, it would yield a positive result for the equities," said Shiraz Ahmed, founder at Sartorial Wealth.

Canada's economy added 14,100 jobs in March, roughly matching expectations, after shedding 83,900 in the prior month, while the unemployment rate held steady at 6.7%.

"Given continued uncertainty over U.S. trade and with energy prices adding to company costs, hiring is likely to remain cautious in the near term," Andrew Grantham, a senior economist at CIBC Capital Markets, said in a note.

The materials group, which includes metal mining shares, rose 1.8% as copper prices climbed.

Energy recouped some of its declines over the previous two days, adding 1.5%, even as the price of oil settled 1.3% lower at $96.57 a barrel.

Technology was up 1.1%, with shares of electronic equipment company Celestica Inc adding 7.3%.

Heavily weighted financials ended 0.6% higher.

Just two of the 10 major sectors lost ground, including consumer staples. It was down 0.7%.
