Dataset search tools help you find open data, research collections and public records from many fields. Listings include catalogues, repositories and portals from governments, universities, labs and open projects. Some cover one subject closely, such as genomics, climate or satellite imagery, while others gather datasets across many areas and add filters, previews and download notes. Compare a few side by side and look at the licence, the update date and the file formats offered, since two portals that look alike can carry very different terms. Check whether a catalogue links to the original data or hosts its own copy, because the source usually explains provenance and any limits on reuse.
The CONP Portal is a web interface for finding, sharing and downloading open neuroscience datasets and analysis tools from the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform. It also lists tutorials explaining how the portal works.
The Canadian Opinion Research Archive (CORA) at Queen's University makes commercial and independent public opinion surveys available to academic, research and journalistic communities. Founded in 1992, it contains hundreds of surveys with items collected by major Canadian commercial firms dating back to the 1970s. Survey data is accessed through the Odesi repository.
The Canadian Research Data Centre Network provides access to microdata used by CRDCN researchers, drawn primarily from Statistics Canada Survey Master files. Research Data Centres also hold administrative records from sources including tax, employment insurance, social assistance and hospitalization records. The page points readers to the network's Understanding Microdata page for more detail.
The Canadian Tides and Water Levels Data Archive holds water level observations from over a thousand stations, the earliest dating from 1848. It includes hourly heights, daily means and monthly extremes, with predictions published for most tidal stations. Data are quality controlled and adjusted for datum changes; 15-minute data are not generally released.
The Canadian Urban Data Repository hosts the Canadian Urban Data Catalogue (CUDC), a platform that catalogs urban datasets with metadata organized across six maturity levels covering basic information, access parameters, content details, privacy information, Indigenous data considerations, and data quality metrics.
The Canadian VirusSeq Data Portal is a data portal for clinical case data that has expanded into the iMicroSeq Data Portal, which supports integrative analyses of broader microbial data such as viruses and bacteria, including antimicrobial resistance data. Genome Canada partnered with DNAstack to share VirusSeq data on Viral AI, a federated network for genomic variant surveillance and infectious disease research.
CanWIN is the data centre for the Centre for Earth Observation Science at the University of Manitoba. The repository holds datasets, projects and publications on watershed, freshwater, marine and atmospheric topics, searchable by theme or map, and supports data discovery, submission and download.

The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) is an NCI and National Human Genome Research Institute program that molecularly characterized over 20,000 primary cancer and matched normal samples spanning 33 cancer types. TCGA data are publicly available and accessible through the Genomic Data Commons Data Portal, which provides web-based analysis and visualization tools.
The Cancer in Young People in Canada (CYP-C) Data Tool is a national pediatric cancer surveillance program led by the C17 Council with the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. It captures diagnosis, treatment and short-term outcomes to five years for patients under 19 at Canadian pediatric centres, and provides pan-Canadian surveillance data to inform research and planning for cancer control.
CancerData is a website promoting free and open-source resource sharing for cancer care. It offers a collection of resources including a brain radiotherapy atlas and contouring instructions, and highlights a deep learning model for contouring guidelines for organs at risk in neuro-oncology.
Research data portal for exploring basic in biology and medicine records, including genomic data.
The Canine Inherited Disorders Database is a joint initiative of the Sir James Dunn Animal Welfare Centre at the Atlantic Veterinary College and the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association. Originally developed between 1998 and 2001, it has been redesigned, with contents under review and updating. It provides information on inherited disorders in dogs to owners, breeders and veterinarians through disorder and breed pages and a search box.
Research data portal for exploring epidemiology and medical biometry/statistics records, including datasets.
The CanPath Portal gives the research community resources to identify epidemiological and biological data available from six participating cohorts. An access request is initiated directly through the portal, which also covers the cohorts, datasets, biosamples and access policy.
The CANUE Data Portal is a product of the Canadian Urban Environmental Health Research Consortium for research on urban living and human health. The portal is described as a beta upgrade and offers a map browser, data request, data download and restricted area; users are asked to report issues to [email protected].
The Carbohydrate-Active enZYmes Database is a specialist database, online since 1998, describing families of structurally-related catalytic and carbohydrate-binding modules of enzymes that degrade, modify, or create glycosidic bonds. Data can be browsed by sequence-based families or by genome content, with new genomes added after GenBank releases. It also offers automatic annotation and human curation services for data.
Dataset repository covering art history, music, theatre and media studies, with searchable text.
CARS is the first data release of the Close AGN Reference Survey, a spatially resolved multi-wavelength survey of about 39 nearby luminous AGN and 2 starburst galaxies. It provides 3D cubes and high-level data products from optical IFU spectroscopy. All data is publicly available; registration offers a dedicated SQL workspace.
