U.S. trips by car
1.3 million
U.S. trips by air
537,000
Americans made 1.8 million trips to Canada by car and plane in September, up 17.2 per cent, the eighth straight monthly rise. About 1.3 million came by car and more than 537,000 by air.
The sharp increase in September can be attributed to the calendar effect of a moving Labour Day weekend, which fell one week later in 2026 than in 2025.
