He completed the 2014–15 season with eight appearances.

Prior the Youth World Cup held in Turkey, Cortés played some exhibition games, highlighting a 4–4 draw with Uzbekistan where he performed well during the ninety minutes and saved a shoot during the penalties which bring to Chile the victory.[8] On 31 May 2015, Cortés was included by Mario Salas in the 23-man roster to face the category's World Cup.[9]
In 2015, he was included again in a Chilean national under-20 team roster, after being nominated by Hugo Tocalli to the South American Youth Championship in Uruguay.[10] Cortes played in the Estadio La Corregidora in Querétaro, Mexico for the Chile national team against Mexico.
Despite being 27, he represented Chile at under-23 level in a 1–0 win against Peru U23 on 31 August 2022, in the context of preparations for the 2023 Pan American Games.[11] He was included in the final squad as an overage player alongside César Fuentes and Matías Zaldivia,[12] where Chile won the silver medal.[13]
