Postdocs applying for a project

Hi,
I\'ll finish my PhD next year and I\'m considering where to go for my first postdoc. I think I already know most of the things regarding postdoc positions but there is one thing that I would like to know but I can\'t find in the net. This is: are postdocs allowed to apply for research pojects in USA and Canada?
I indicate the countries because I am not sure whether this depends on the country (and I\'m european, I don\'t know if this can limitate the projects I could apply to)
And I mean a \"new\" postdoc, applying for a project funding when you are yet working in another\'s lab.
I would like to build my carreer as strong as possible since the beginning, and being able to get economic support from a project seems to me a good way to have autonomy in the lab and get an independent position sooner.
Thank you very much for the forum, that\'s nice to find a place like this to ask carrer questions,
