On 3 February 2011, he was called up to the Canadian senior team for their friendly against Greece on 9 February. Borjan made his debut for Canada in the friendly against Greece played in Larissa. The game ended in a 1–0 loss. Borjan was one of three Canadian players to make their international senior debut against Greece. Tosaint Ricketts and David Edgar were the other two. That summer, Borjan was called up to the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup roster, his first ever international tournament participation. He played his first national team game on home soil at BMO Field on 1 June 2011, during a friendly against Ecuador that ended as a 2–2 draw. Borjan made his Gold Cup debut on 11 June 2011 in a 1–0 victory over Guadeloupe at Raymond James Stadium.
  On 12 June 2012, due to the suspension of first choice goalkeeper Lars Hirschfeld, Borjan started in the 0:0 home draw with Honduras in a 2014 World Cup qualifier. Since the end of 2012, Borjan has emerged as Canada's starting goalkeeper. He was the starter for Canada at the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup and backstopped Canada to their first win since 2012 against Jamaica on 9 September 2014 in a 3-1 victory. Borjan earned his first red card for Canada on 11 June 2015 when he handled the ball outside of the box against Dominica after a mistake from Julian de Guzman in a 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying match.
