Canada sees continued decline in both US and foreign visitors: Statistics Canada

Canada is seeing a continued decline in both US and foreign visitors, with the latest report from Statistics Canada showing that in April, travel to Canada by US residents fell 8.9 per cent year-on-year, while travel to Canada by other foreign residents fell 0.6 per cent.

This is the third consecutive month that travel to Canada by US residents has declined and the seventh consecutive month that travel by other foreign nationals has declined.

According to Statistics Canada, the decline in foreign visitors to Canada was driven by a decline in people coming from Asia, who were down 12.6 per cent compared to last year. In contrast, visitors from Europe increased.
