Canada competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics, which were held in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022. Canada has competed in all 24 editions of the Winter Olympics.
On November 17, 2020, two-time Olympic gold medallist in speed skating Catriona Le May Doan was named as chef de mission of the delegation.
The Canadian team consisted of 215 athletes (109 men and 106 women) competing in 14 sports. Canada did not have any representation in the sport of Nordic combined. This was the third-largest Canadian Winter Olympic team after 2014 (222 athletes) and 2018 (225 athletes). The full delegation consisted of 414 people, including athletes, coaches, officials, and staff.
On February 2, 2022, short-track speed skater Charles Hamelin and hockey player Marie-Philip Poulin were named as Canada's flagbearers during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile, triple medallist speed skater Isabelle Weidemann was named the closing ceremony flagbearer.
The Canadian team won 26 medals, tied with 2010 for the second-highest total ever for Canada in Winter Games. The four gold medals won represented the lowest total since 1994 and meant the country finished outside the top ten of the medal table for the first time since 1988, a span of 34 years. However, the CEO of the Canadian Olympic Committee, David Shoemaker, was "delighted with that performance".
Political boycott
On December 8, 2021, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a diplomatic boycott of the games, citing human rights concerns. Trudeau said the government is "extremely concerned by the repeated human rights violations carried out by the Chinese government". The Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee respected the government's decision but stressed that a full boycott would have hurt athletes.
