Cross-Border Visits by Canadian and U.S. Residents up From Last Year: StatCan
Canadian and U.S. residents made 3.7 million cross-border trips last month, with both sides posting year-over-year gains for the sixth straight month.
- Statistics Canada reported on Wednesday that cross-border travel between Canada and the United States increased over the last six months, marking the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year growth for Canadian visits to the U.S.
- This travel growth persists despite an ongoing trade war, as President Donald Trump introduced bans on imports of Canadian goods last month, including motorcycles, dairy byproducts, and most Canadian-made booze.
- Statistics Canada data shows Canadian residents made 1.9 million return trips from the U.S. last month, up 6.8 per cent, while U.S. residents' visits to Canada rose 17.2 per cent to 1.8 million trips.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney suspended trade talks in August to resist pressure for concessions, while U.S. tariffs hit $28 billion in Canadian goods, prompting Canadian retaliatory tariffs on September 8.
- The U.S. Department of State maintains a 'level one' travel advisory for Canada, the lowest rating for safety and security risk, signaling travel remains relatively secure despite economic tensions.
