Canada is scheduled to compete at the 2022 World Championships in Athletics in Eugene, Oregon, United States, from July 15−24, 2022.

The Canadian team of 54 athletes (24 men and 30 women) was named on June 30, 2022.[1][2] In July, five more athletes were named to the team (Cameron Proceviat, Catherine Léger, Gracelyn Larkin, Grace Fetherstonhaugh and Anicka Newell) after invitations from World Athletics.[3][4] This meant the final team size was 59 athletes (25 men and 34 women).

Canada finished the event with four medals (one gold, two silver and one bronze), including a new national record and gold medal win in the 4x100 relay for men, 25 years after the last major win for the team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.[5][6] The Canadian team also finished seventh overall in the placement table, with a total of 63 points, bettering its performance from 2019 (55 points and ninth overall).[7]
