Key Takeaways

52% of Canadians feel that traveling to the U.S. is unsafe for them at the moment.

The American–Canadian relationship is unraveling a bit.

A survey conducted between May 1st–3rd by Leger Marketing for the Association for Canadian Studies asked Canadians how they felt about traveling to the United States.

We visualize the findings from 1,626 respondents, broken down by age, along with the overall average for each question.

Canadians and Americans: No Longer Friends?

Amid rising tensions between the neighboring countries, 52% of Canadians no longer feel safe traveling to the United States.

“It is no longer safe for all Canadians travelling to the U.S.”	Yes	No	I don’t know
18–34 yrs	47%	31%	21%
35–54 yrs	47%	33%	19%
55+ yrs	59%	24%	17%
Average	52%	29%	19%

The older the respondent, the stronger the sentiment, with 60% of those aged 55+ saying they feel unsafe.

For citizens of two countries that have shared a historic relationship, this is a marked turn in sentiments.

“I no longer feel welcome in the U.S.”	Yes	No	I don’t know
18–34 yrs	48%	31%	21%
35–54 yrs	52%	30%	18%
55+ yrs	60%	23%	18%
Average	54%	27%	19%

Trouble started when in February, the newly-elected President Trump targeted Canada with tariffs, with the aim to bring back auto manufacturing to the country.

Shortly after, President Trump called Canada the “51st State,” irking both political leadership and ordinary citizens in Canada who viewed the statements as a threat to their sovereignty.

Then in March, a Canadian citizen was detained and held by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for two weeks.

This prompted concerns about the unpredictability of immigration services, further fueled by similar reports from European travelers.

Canadians are now canceling U.S. travel plans, a move that could have an impact on U.S. tourism.
