Have the decreases in Canadian visits to the U.S. finally plateaued?

Looking at the latest data from Statistics Canada, while travel from Canada south of the border is still down dramatically, it’s no worse – in fact it’s slightly better – than the previous month’s stats.

In June 2025 Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S. by air fell 22.1% compared with the same month one year earlier. For May 2025, the drop was 24%.

Overall Canadian-resident return trips by air from abroad stood at 1.2 million, down 3.4% from June 2024.

While Canadian-resident return trips from overseas countries increased 7.3% from June 2024 vs. June 2025, it was the 22% drop in Canadian-resident return trips by air from the U.S., down to 363,900, that brought down the overall return air trips.

Meanwhile Canadian-resident return trips by car dropped 33.1% in June 2025. It was a steep decline from June 2024, however slightly better than May 2025’s 38% drop.
