*The COVID-19 pandemic has affected data availability and the regular process for collecting and distributing data. Although less timely than normal, providing this information does provide a baseline moving forward. This month’s infographic shows all travellers from long-haul (non-US) arrivals, including same-day trips from non-US countries (i.e. air passengers in transit to other countries), which are normally excluded. Destination Canada estimates that these same-day trips account for 3% of total arrivals. US travel excludes same-day trips by land, as usual. Data on mode of entry at the country level is not available, so only the total long-haul arrivals by mode of entry is provided.
