Stats Canada reports sharp decline in U.S. return trips by Canadians

April 10, 2025, 10:20 am

Recent data from Statistics Canada reveals a steep 32% drop in the number of Canadians making return trips from the United States compared to the previous year. The decline, observed primarily for car travel, points to shifting cross-border movement trends amid evolving economic conditions and tightened border policies. Analysts are examining how these reduced travel patterns may impact commerce and tourism between the two nations, and whether these trends indicate a longer-term change in the behavior of Canadian travelers.
