Statistics Canada says the number of Canada’s international arrivals increased in July but has yet to recover to pre-pandemic levels.
The agency says the number of trips by U.S. residents in July was 2.2 million, 11 times the number of trips taken in July 2021 but still about 60 per cent of the trips reported in July 2019.
Residents from countries other than Canada and the U.S. made 10 times more trips to Canada in July 2022 compared with July 2021 but remains half of the number of international travellers in 2019.

As air travel in July increased, labour shortages contributed to flight cancellations, long security queues and lost luggage, impacting major airports, says the agency.
