While this nearly doubles the 28,100 that crossed into Canada last April, it’s 94% fewer than the more than 900,000 recorded in April 2019.
The same trends also apply to air travel — 17,400 foreigners entered Canada last month, up from just 7,500 a year ago, and far below April 2019’s 494,400.
Canadians returning home by car in April differed little since the same month one year ago — 184,000 in April 2021 compared to 105,000 in April 2020 and 2.2 million in April 2019.
Daily volumes for Canadians returning home by air averaged around 1,376 in April 2021, while last year’s daily average was 760 and 39,000 in April 2019.
