    This is the official homepage for the Canadian Physics Olympiad National Program

The 52nd International Physics Olympiad was scheduled to be hosted in 2022 in the Republic of Belarus. However, due to the current situation in the region, the Olympiad was cancelled. This year’s 53rd 2023 Olympiad competition took place in Tokyo, Japan. 

The Canadian Physics Olympiad organization aims to identify pre-university students who have a talent for physics, and then to prepare the best of them for participation in the International Physics Olympiad.

The Canadian Olympiad depends upon the cooperation of teachers in the high schools and CÉGEPs across the country. It is the teachers who are best placed to identify and encourage promising students, and to put them in touch with regional organizers who, in turn, can provide further information and preparation materials. High-school students of any age may become involved. However, students who wish to participate in the International Physics Olympiad must satisfy some eligibility rules. Also, senior students will generally be more successful, but junior students are encouraged to become involved and gain valuable experience
