Canadians reducing trips to the U.S.?

Flight bookings for the upcoming months of April-September for travelers from Canada to the U.S. are currently down 70% compared to this time last year.

In addition, the number of Canadians returning from trips to the U.S. was down 13% in the month of February for air travel and 23% for car travel (compared to February 2024).
