External postdoctoral funding sources include the three federal granting agencies: the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC). Naturally, foreign nationals would benefit from checking first with agencies and foundations in their home country.
