The 2022 Canadian Tire National Skating Championships were held on January 6–12, 2022 in Ottawa, Ontario. Medals were awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, women's singles, pairs, and ice dance on the senior, junior, and novice levels. The results were part of the Canadian selection criteria for the 2022 World Championships, the 2022 Four Continents Championships, the 2022 World Junior Championships, and the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Ottawa was announced as the host in February 2021. The city has hosted the event eleven times previously. Competitors qualified at the Skate Canada Challenge in January.

On December 30, 2021, due to the Omicron variant and Ontario COVID-19 public health orders, it was announced that the competition would be held behind closed doors with no spectators, and all tickets refunded. Competitions for the novice level were also postponed to an undetermined future date.[1] [2] The event was later rescheduled for February 26–27 in Calgary, Alberta.[3]
