Canadians steer clear of US as travel from north falls for seventh month

Travel to the US by Canadian residents has continued to drop significantly for the seventh month in a row, as new data confirms that Donald Trump’s threats have helped upend the summer tourism season.

Statistics Canada said on Monday that the number of Canadian residents who made a return trip to the US by car dropped 36.9% in July 2025, compared with the same month in 2024.

There were declines in air travel as well, where Canadian residents returning from the US by commercial airlines dropped by 25.8% in July compared with the previous year.
