Canadian Car Visits To U.S. Plunge 37% In July—Seattle, Portland, Detroit Hit Hardest
Canadian car travel to the U.S. dropped 37% in July, marking seven months of decline and severely impacting northern border states reliant on tourism revenue.
- In July 2025, the number of trips made by Canadians driving back from the U.S. decreased by 36.9% compared to the previous year, marking the seventh month in a row of declining automobile travel.
- The drop follows ongoing tensions from U.S. policies and security measures that shifted Canadian sentiment and increased travel concerns.
- U.S. border states like Seattle, Portland, Detroit, and others saw steep double-digit declines in Canadian tourists, hitting tourism industries reliant on cross-border travel.
- Statistics Canada reported 6.3 million combined Canadian and non-resident return trips by air and car in July, down 15.6% from July 2024, while Canadian air trips from other countries rose 5.9%.
- The sustained decline suggests a significant loss for U.S. tourism, with Canadian travel to the U.S. down 24% in the first half of 2025, and may cause continued economic impact if trends persist.
