Tables 24-10-0005-01, 24-10-0043-01 and 24-10-0006-01.

Table note 1

Percentage change is based on unrounded data.

Table note 2

Totals exceed the sum of "same-day car trips" and "total trips, one or more nights" because the totals include same-day trips by all modes of transportation.

Table note 3

Data for the United States include counts of cars and buses, and data for planes, trains, boats and other methods of transportation.

Table note 4

Figures for other countries exclude same-day entries by land only via the United States.

Table note 5

Overseas markets refer to countries other than the United States.

Table note 6

Includes same-day and overnight trips.

Table note 7

Starting with August 2018 data, Statistics Canada implemented a new method for estimating the country-of-residence breakdowns of overseas travellers entering Canada at land ports where this breakdown was not available. This change has varying degrees of impact on the total counts of travellers to Canada from individual countries. Users are therefore advised to use caution when comparing changes in travel to Canada with previous months for individual overseas countries.
