Cyle Larin is a Canadian soccer player who has represented the Canada men's national soccer team since his debut in 2014. Larin has represented the nation at two FIFA World Cups and five CONCACAF Gold Cups. He made his senior international debut on May 23, 2014, in a friendly against Bulgaria, coming on as a substitute in a 1–1 draw. He scored his first international goal for Canada on March 30, 2015, in a friendly against Puerto Rico, which Canada won 3–0. Across his international career, Larin has scored 32 goals in 95 appearances for Canada. He became Canada's all-time top scorer with 23 goals on January 30, 2022, holding the record until Jonathan David surpassed him two years later.

Larin scored his first and only international hat-trick as Canada opened their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign with a 5–1 win over Bermuda on March 25, 2021. Larin became Canada's joint all-time top scorer at 22 goals alongside De Rosario when he scored twice in a 2–1 World Cup qualifying win against Mexico on November 17, 2021. On January 30, 2022, Larin scored his 23rd international goal against the United States, giving him the record outright. Larin's record lasted two years, until David surpassed him as Canada's record goalscorer with his 31st goal on November 19, 2024, in a 3–0 win against Suriname. Larin holds the record for most goals scored during a CONCACAF World Cup qualifying campaign, finishing the 2022 qualification campaign with 13 goals, the highest in the CONCACAF region and the second highest in the World Cup qualification campaign overall.

In 2021, Larin set a men's national team record by scoring 14 goals in a calendar year, including an eight-game stretch in which he scored ten goals. At the 2026 FIFA World Cup, played on home soil, Larin scored the equalizing goal in a 1–1 draw against Bosnia and Herzegovina during Canada's opening group stage game, giving Canada their first ever World Cup point. In the following match, he scored the opening goal in a 6–0 victory over Qatar, Canada's first ever World Cup win, making him the first player to score for Canada in two separate matches of the same tournament.
