The 2020 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Championship proved to be a major showcase for Huitema, who lead the whole tournament in scoring with seven goals, including five goals in the group stage game against Jamaica and the lone goal in Canada's 1–0 semi-final victory over Costa Rica that resulted in Canada qualifying for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.{{Cite news|url=https://www.tsn.ca/jordyn-huitema-s-five-goals-leads-canada-past-jamaica-into-olympic-qualifier-semis-1.1436488 |title=Huitema's five goals leads Canada past Jamaica, into Olympic qualifier semis |last=Johnson |first=Meaghen |date=February 1, 2020 |website=TSN|access-date=July 11, 2022|language=en-CA}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/canada-costa-rica-concacaf-semifinal-olympic-qualifier-1.5456732 |title=Canadian women's soccer punches ticket to Tokyo after defeating Costa Rica |date=February 7, 2020 |website=CBC Sports|access-date=July 11, 2022|language=en-CA}} Shortly afterward, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic delayed the Tokyo Olympics by a year. Huitema was named to the Canadian Olympic team. In the women's tournament Canada advanced to the Olympic final for the first time in its history, winning the gold medal. Huitema substituted Christine Sinclair at the 86 minute mark, playing 36 minutes in the championship game.{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/aug/06/canada-win-olympic-title-after-julia-grosso-decisive-kick-sinks-sweden |title=Canada win Olympic title after Julia Grosso sinks Sweden in shootout |newspaper=The Guardian |date=August 6, 2021 }}{{cite web |url=https://www.theprogress.com/sports/chilliwack-celebrates-jordyn-huitemas-olympic-win-at-red-white-and-gold-celebration/ |title=Chilliwack celebrates Jordyn Huitema's Olympic win at Red, White and Gold celebration |last=Welsh |first=Eric |newspaper=The Chilliwack Progress |date=August 12, 2021 }}

While Huitema's junior career and early debut with the national team had drawn widespread hopes that she would serve as a long-term replacement for Sinclair as Canada's elite striker, her lack of production against top opponents in the years immediately following the Tokyo Olympics began to generate discussion. A twelve-game goalless streak that spanned much of 2022 and 2023 ended on April 12, 2023 when she scored Canada's lone goal in a 2–1 loss to France.{{Cite news|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/womens-world-cup/article/womens-world-cup-preview-foolish-to-count-out-canada/ |title=Women's World Cup Preview: Foolish to count out Canada |last=Molinaro |first=John F. |website=Sportsnet |date=July 19, 2023 |access-date=July 19, 2023}}{{Cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/opinion-canada-france-soccer-1.6807681 |title=Depleted by injury, distracted by negotiation, Canada's women's team shows resilience in loss to France |last=Ahmed |first=Shireen |website=CBC Sports |date=April 12, 2023 |access-date=July 19, 2023}} Named to her second World Cup team in advance of the 2023 edition in Australia and New Zealand, sports channel TSN noted "there is a lot of pressure on Huitema to take the next step forward." Canada would ultimately fail to advance past the group stage in Australia, scoring only two goals in three matches, which renewed discussions about the team's lack of offensive ability.{{cite news|url=https://onesoccer.ca/a/3-key-takeaways-from-canwnt-performances-at-2023-world-cup-canada|title=3 KEY TAKEAWAYS from Canada's performances at 2023 World Cup|last=Ristic|first=Raine|publisher=OneSoccer|date=August 1, 2023|access-date=August 11, 2023}}{{cite news|url=https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/article/long-standing-issues-with-scoring-creativity-at-root-of-canadas-world-cup-exit/|title=Long-standing issues with scoring, creativity at root of Canada's World Cup exit|last=Molinaro|first=John F.|website=Sportsnet|date=July 31, 2023|access-date=July 31, 2023}}{{cite news|url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/soccer/article-canada-eliminated-from-womens-world-cup-after-falling-4-0-to-australia/|title=Canada left searching for answers in wake of early exit from Women's World Cup|last=Davidson|first=Neil|newspaper=Globe & Mail|date=July 31, 2023|access-date=August 11, 2023}} Huitema recorded no goals or assists in the tournament, with assessments of her performance being mixed overall, disagreeing as to whether other attributes were sufficient given the lack of finishing ability shown.{{cite news|url=https://canpl.ca/article/player-ratings-how-canwnt-performed-vs-nigeria-in-their-2023-womens-world-cup-opener|title=Player Ratings: How CanWNT performed vs. Nigeria in their 2023 Women's World Cup opener|last=Tierney|first=Mitchell|website=Canadian Premier League|date=July 21, 2023|access-date=August 11, 2023}}{{cite news|url=https://canpl.ca/article/player-ratings-how-canwnt-performed-in-much-needed-win-vs-ireland|title=Player Ratings: How CanWNT performed in much-needed win vs. Ireland|last=O'Connor-Clarke|first=Charlie|website=Canadian Premier League|date=July 26, 2023|access-date=August 11, 2023}}{{cite news|url=https://canpl.ca/article/player-ratings-how-canwnt-performed-as-they-were-unceremoniously-eliminated-from-the-world-cup-by-hosts-australia|title=Player Ratings: How CanWNT performed as they were unceremoniously eliminated from the World Cup by hosts Australia|last=Tierney|first=Mitchell|website=Canadian Premier League|date=July 31, 2023|access-date=August 11, 2023}}

Following the team's disappointment at the World Cup, coach Bev Priestman made a number of changes to the team's deployment for their next games, the CONCACAF Olympic qualification playoff against Jamaica, which included using Huitema as a substitute rather than a starter in both legs. She scored the game-winning goal of the second match.{{Cite news|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/canada-women-jamaica-olympic-qualification-sept-26-1.6978995 |title=Olympic champion Canada secures spot at Paris 2024 with win over Jamaica |first=Abdulhamid |last=Ibrahim |website=CBC Sports |date=September 26, 2023 |access-date=September 27, 2023}}

Opening 2024 at the inaugural edition of the CONCACAF W Gold Cup, Huitema scored a goal in Canada's opening group stage game against El Salvador, and a second against Costa Rica in the third.{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/canada-el-salvador-gold-cup-recap-feb-22-1.7122771 |title=Canada's women's soccer team blows out El Salvador in Gold Cup opener|work=CBC Sports|date=February 23, 2024|access-date=March 11, 2024}}{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/sports/soccer/canada-costa-rica-gold-cup-recap-feb-28-1.7128614 |title=Canada shuts out Costa Rica to stay perfect at W Gold Cup, clinch top seed for quarterfinals|work=CBC Sports|date=February 28, 2024|access-date=March 11, 2024}} She scored her third goal of the tournament in the semi-final against the United States, an equalizer that would ultimately send the game to extra time, and subsequently to penalties.

On July 1, 2024, Huitema was named to the Canadian Olympic team in the women's tournament. This will be her second Olympic Games.{{cite web|url=https://canadasoccer.com/news/canada-soccer-and-canadian-olympic-committee-unveil-womens-national-team-roster-for-the-paris-olympic-games/ |title=Canada Soccer and Canadian Olympic Committee Unveil Women's National Team Roster for the Paris Olympic Games|newspaper= Canada Soccer|date= July 1, 2024|access-date=July 13, 2024}}
