After the NHL decided not to send players to the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, Tomkins was selected to Team Canada as one of three goalies.[3] Tomkins was backup for the first two games of the preliminary round, a win over Germany and a loss to the United States. He made his first start for Canada in the third game, and got a shutout against China in a 5–0 win.[4] Tomkins would follow by backstopping Canada to a 7–2 qualification round win over China again, before bowing out to Sweden in a 2–0 quarterfinal loss.
After his showing at the 2022 Olympics, Tomkins was once again called upon to Team Canada at the 2022 IIHF World Championships. He did not play until the gold medal game, where an injury early in the third period to starter Chris Dreidger forced Tomkins into the game, where Canada would eventually fall in overtime.[5]
