Number of Canadians returning from U.S. trips down again in May: StatCan
- In May 2025, the number of trips made by Canadians driving back from the United States was 1.3 million, representing a 38.1 percent decline from the same month in 2024.
- This decline followed ongoing travel avoidance by Canadians to the U.S. partly due to tariffs and political tensions previously highlighted by Canadian leaders and President Trump.
- In the same period, return trips by Canadians from the U.S. by air fell 24.2 percent to 488,800, while international arrivals to Canada overall decreased 16.7 percent to 4.8 million.
- In May 2025, the number of non-resident travelers flying into Canada reached 894,200, representing a 1.3 percent decrease compared to the previous year. Meanwhile, air arrivals of U.S. residents stood at 439,800, marking a slight decline of 0.3 percent year-over-year.
- These trends suggest continued reduced cross-border travel with potential economic impacts on tourism sectors in both countries if the declines persist.
