Canadian Travel to U.S. Ticks up in June, but Remains Far Below Pre-Trump Levels
Car travel drove most of the increase, while overall visits stayed nearly 29% below June 2024 levels, Statistics Canada said.
- On Monday, Statistics Canada reported that Canadians' return trips from the United States rose 3.2% to 1.7 million in June, marking the third consecutive month of year-over-year increases.
- Despite the recent uptick, visitor numbers remain far below 2024 levels, representing a nearly 29% drop compared to June of 2024.
- Breaking down the data, the agency reports the overall rise was driven by a 5.2% boost in car visits, while return trips by plane fell 3.8%.
- Many Canadians have shifted getaway plans to domestic or overseas locations amid a prolonged backlash to President Donald Trump's tariffs and threats of annexation.
- Meanwhile, Canadians returning from overseas numbered about 873,000 last month, a figure seven per cent higher than the volume recorded in 2024.
