Canada saw a seventh straight month of declines in travel by residents to the U.S.<\/a> in July, according to preliminary data released Monday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Statistics Canada released a report showing<\/a> the number of Canadians who made a return trip from the U.S. by car dropped 36.9 per cent in July compared to the same month in 2024.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t just travel by land that dropped. Data shows Canadians returning from the U.S. by air decreased by 25.8 per cent compared to a year ago.<\/p>\n

In total, the data showed nearly 1.7 million Canadians made a return trip by car compared to 2.6 million a year prior, with 383,700 returns by air.<\/p>\n

The drop in both methods of travel has been consistent since the beginning of 2025, coinciding with U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s inauguration and his ongoing threats of tariffs and annexing Canada.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, people from outside Canada are also making more trips to the Great White North, with data showing non-resident arrivals by air rose 3.1 per cent to 1.4 million compared to July 2024.<\/p>\n
