What do you mean by a research center?  Here are a couple of different examples:

Like universities(these are just a couple, there are likely many others):

[url=http://www.cs.uwaterloo.ca/]David R. Cheriton School of Computer Science

[url=http://www.cs.sfu.ca/research/groups/]Simon Fraser computing groups 

Or do you want industry:

Whatever could you mean by that? If you're saying that universities don't hire graduates from other universities, that's clearly wrong; and if you're saying that people who are hired by a university are affiliated with that university, that's a tautology.

There are many government research facilities, many run by the NRC (National Research Counsel) and by Industry Canada - notably the Communications Research Center.

The research positions in Universities are usually only for a few years. and the members in a university reserach center(group) are usually the professors and PhD students in the univeristy. so I said they do not hire people from outside. right?
