Canada saw the fourth consecutive month of year-over-year declines of Canadians returning from trips to the U.S. as tensions continue to ripple from tariffs and a weakened dollar.
In April 2025, travel between Canada and the United States saw a significant decrease, with a reported 30% drop in cross-border trips compared to the previous year, according to data from Statistics Canada and the U.S. Department of Transportation. This decline is attributed to several factors, including increased border security measures, economic uncertainties, and a shift in travel preferences towards domestic destinations.

Experts suggest that these trends may continue unless there are changes in policy or economic conditions that encourage more cross-border travel.
