Canadian travelers are gradually returning to the U.S. — but the road back to 2024 levels remains a long one.
Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S. rose 6.8% in September, marking the sixth consecutive month of year-over-year growth, according to figures released Tuesday by Statistics Canada. Return trips by car and by air both increased, by 5.6% and 11.6%, respectively.
However, return trips from the U.S. by car in September were 31.1% lower than in September 2024, while return trips by air were down 18.7%.
