Abstract: This spotlight article highlights recent changes in transborder travel. It discusses the recent declines in Canadian-resident trips to the United States amid policy changes toward Canada implemented by the United States. The United States has long been Canada’s primary international travel destination, partly because of its proximity and warmer climate. In 2024, Canadian-resident trips to the United States totalled 39 million, representing 75% of all Canadian-resident travel abroad (Statistics Canada, 2025). However, recent data on foreign travel suggest that Canadians’ travel sentiment toward their southern neighbour has been shifting in early 2025.
