International psychology is an emerging field that makes the discipline global and inclusive. It also uses psychological science to understand and address global challenges, such as those reflected in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. This award article, which is associated with the Canadian Psychological Association award for the international advancement of psychology, describes the activities and resources associated with international psychology or global psychology as some would refer to it. The connections among cultural psychology, cross-cultural psychology, decolonial psychology, and indigenous psychology are considered. The article also offers information on the author’s journey and activities in the field as just one example of how one enters the field and participates in it. The journey and activities will be different for each international psychologist. Although international psychology has had a presence in Canada, it is not widely acknowledged as a field on its own. The article concludes by discussing the progress made in furthering international psychology in Canada and the lessons learned by the author from being a part of international psychology at the global level.
