The Canadian collections complement materials from the United States, centering on politics, government, and émigré communities in Canada, particularly after World War II. Of significance are collections relating to the joint American/Canadian First Special Service Force (“Devil’s Brigade”) during World War II, Canadian foreign policy, and holdings concerning Russian émigré affairs in Canada.

Political posters are powerful tools of persuasion and control via striking visual imagery. Scholarly interest in the strong visual images draws many researchers to Hoover's voluminous poster collection. Others mine more popular parts of the collection, such as this CBC article on National Doughnut Day, which highlights posters of US troops receiving doughnuts and coffee from Salvation Army doughnut lassies during World War I.
In the early 1920s, a group of scholars set out to make a complete investigation of economic, religious, educational, civic, biological, and social conditions among the Chinese, Japanese, and other non-white residents of the Pacific Coast of the United States and Canada. Extension of the study into northern Mexico and Hawaii was contemplated as well.
