In the 2015 Canadian federal election, Tan was elected for the riding of Don Valley North.
He is the first elected MP born in Mainland China who speaks Mandarin.
According to a Canadian Security Intelligence Service report described by Global News intelligence sources, Tan was prepared to accept a 2018 invitation to travel to Taiwan, but was persuaded not to do so by Liberal MPPs Michael Chan and Han Dong.
In December 2018, Tan announced that he would be seeking re-election in the 2019 Canadian federal election.
In May 2019 reports surfaced on WeChat and Chinese media that Tan was having an affair.
Tan denied the accusations.

On June 25, 2019, the National Post broke the news in English-language media and reported that a former constituency staffer had accused him of refusing to pay child support for a child fathered via in vitro fertilization while they were in a relationship.
Tan denied the accusations, saying that he had only consented to donating sperm to her, and said he would fight the case in court.

He was ultimately succeeded by Dong, who had the support of Liberal insider Chan.
