The Canadian dollar rose almost half a percent to 1.3224 to the US dollar, inching away from a low of 1.3315 hit on Friday its lowest level since mid-March.
Cable was flat around 1.2420, taking a breather in the wake of its "flash crash" in Asian trade on Friday, when it suddenly plunged to a 31-year low of 1.1491.
Despite sterling bouncing back from that low, it still posted a 4.2 percent decline last week in its worst weekly performance since the week of the UK Brexit vote in late June. Its weakness came amid concern that Britain would opt for a "hard" exit from the European Union, in which control over migration into Britain would be favored over trade access to the EU.
The dollar was slightly higher against its major rivals, recovering from the losses made on Friday after US non-farm payrolls data for September came in below expectations.
Against a basket of its major counterparts, the greenback traded around 96.50, having retreated from Friday's two-month high of 97.188.
USD/JPY edged back above 103 after tumbling 1 percent on Friday and remained below a one-month high of 104.17 set on Thursday.
Despite the headline figure for US non-farm payrolls in September was softer than the market forecast, it was still seen as being strong enough to keep the Federal Reserve on track to raise rates in December.
