Canadian visitors to the United States dropped dramatically in 2025 during a year of chilly relations between the neighboring nations.

About 10 million fewer Canadians traveled to the United States in 2025 compared with the previous year, according to Statistics Canada, a 25% decline that hit border states like Michigan especially hard.

Canadian visits to southeast Michigan fell 30% from 2024 to 2025, said Visit Detroit CEO Claude Molinari.

"That's a large decline in a short amount of time," Molinari said. "And it's certainly having a detrimental impact on our area hotels, restaurants and attractions, which have been able to rely on consistent Canadian travel in recent years."
