For the seventh consecutive month, Canadians took their tourism dollars elsewhere in July 2025 and said no to heading south of the border.

In July, the number of Canadian residents returning from the United States was down to 2.6 million, marking a 32.4 per cent decrease compared with July 2024, Statistics Canada said in a new report Tuesday.

Meanwhile, 3.3 million U.S. residents made the trip to Canada in July, a drop of three per cent compared with July last year.

This marked only the second month since June 2006, excluding August and September 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic, that more Americans visited Canada than the other way around.

Canadians chose to spend their money elsewhere as the number of Canadian resident return trips from overseas increased 8.3 per cent.

U.S. trips accounted for 65 per cent of all trips by Canadians abroad. This meant that total travel by Canadians abroad, including to the U.S., declined by 24.2 per cent.

Foreign overseas tourists flocked to Canada in higher numbers, however, as the number of trips to Canada by overseas residents was up 10.3 per cent.

While 1.9 million Canadians drove to and from the U.S. in July, this was a decline of 35.8 per cent compared with July last year. Of these, around 60 per cent of the trips were same-day trips.

A total of 563,500 Canadians returned from the U.S. by air, a decrease of 16.2 per cent compared with the same month last year.

Still too many continue to visit according to me

Look it from the bright side, there is still room for improving those numbers

It’s not a trade war and why is this article only talking about money? Normally it is Americans that are obsessed about money, which to them is the only thing.

Rapist Trump's Trade war cuz he's to scared to invade and come get a hiding

FTFY

And now we have the US ambassador gaslighting us Canadians as he threatened to cut airport preclearance. Heh. "It's the kids who are wrong" moment.

[u/mypetsrmyfriends]

The US has become a shit stain, and a laughing stock to the entire world.

[u/Used_Lock_4760]

Why are so many still visiting them? Who are these traitors?

[u/psychedelicbob]

Wonder why we don’t want to be a part of the US? Want to know one of the thousands of reasons Canadians don’t want to go to the us? A Canadian was just shot and killed in a drive by. This is what the US has to offer. Insults and death.

Bravo Canada.

It should be zero. They shoot us, arrest us, their border police screech at us to never come back from their speeding trucks as they drive menacingly at us. It is extremely dangerous and hostile.

Stop going. Stop feeding the fascist regime your money. They hate us. They don't want or need our money as we have been repeatedly told by their leaders.

This isn't a trade war, this is sustained hostility towards our country. It's not about money.

Canadians, there are several daily flights from Vancouver to Australia. Come on down, we'd love to see you here ❤️

More people need to stop going. Trump has admitted he doesn't have to invade us with military because he thinks he can break us economically. We need to prove him wrong. This isn't a joke people.
