A recent study reveals that Canadians are likely to cut back on trips to the United States during President Donald Trump’s second term. The report, released on January 17, 2025, by Narrative Research, surveyed 1,231 Canadians in December 2025. The data was adjusted to reflect Canada’s population distribution based on gender, age, and region, using the 2021 Census as a reference.
According to the findings, nearly half of Canadians (45%) expect to travel to the U.S. as frequently as they did before the 2024 election. However, 29% plan to reduce their cross-border trips, while only 8% said they would visit the U.S. more often.
The study also highlighted differences in travel intentions based on age and gender. A majority of men (52%) said their travel habits would remain unchanged, compared to 33% of women who plan to travel less. Additionally, 37% of Canadians aged 55 and older said they would visit the U.S. less frequently. The same percentage of residents in Atlantic Canada also indicated they would reduce their trips south of the border in the coming year.
The findings suggest that political factors, including the Trump presidency, may be influencing Canadians’ travel plans to the United States.
