Meaning I invested 10k in XYZ and receive $100 each quarter for a total of $400/$10,000 = 4% return per year guaranteed.

This is a weird question. As has been pointed out, there is no such thing as a "good" return - return is proportional to risk taken. A better question might be "what is a typical return that a normal Canadian balanced investor might expect" although even that is still at best relying on somebody's opinion of a normal investor's risk tolerance.
Also, it is not really generally accepted to discuss "ROI" for dividends only. You are generally measuring the YIELD of your investment (which is what you are asking about), or your ROI of your investment (which is the total return of dividends + capital appreciation versus initial investment).
