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.
