(Reuters) - Telus Corp (T.TO) (TU.N), one of Canada's three big telecom providers, said it would sell a 35 percent stake in outsourcing service provider Telus International in a deal that values the unit at C$1.2 billion ($934.80 million).

The company said it would sell the business to Baring Private Equity Asia and use proceeds of about C$600 million to expand its wireless and wireline networks in Canada.
