Statistics Canada reports a significant increase in cross-border visits between Canada and the United States for the sixth consecutive month in September 2026. Canadian residents made 1.9 million return trips from the U.S., marking a 6.8% rise compared to September 2025, though still down 31.1% from September 2024. Similarly, U.S. residents' visits to Canada increased by 17.2%, totaling 1.8 million trips last month. The spike in travel coincides with an ongoing trade war characterized by the introduction of bans on certain Canadian goods by U.S. President Donald Trump, including most Canadian-made booze, dairy products, and some motorcycles.
