May 4 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index rose at the open on Thursday after Shopify's shares surged as the e-commerce company plans to lay off 20% of its workforce and sold its logistics arm, while an uptick in gold prices supported miners. At 9:33 a.m. ET (1333 GMT), the Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index was up 74.15 points, or 0.36%, at 20,428.83.
