Summary
Canadian-resident return trips from the U.S. rose 9.5% in May from a year earlier, extending April’s rebound after a 15-month slump.
Auto travel drove the gain, with return trips by car climbing 15.1%, pointing to road crossings as the main engine of the recovery.
Two straight months of increases still leave the comeback partial: Canadian travel to the U.S. remained nearly 29% below levels seen two years earlier.
That gap suggests the recent pickup follows a deep prior decline, making the year-on-year surge look stronger than the broader recovery trend.
