Canada Imports

Canada's imports increased by 0.9% month-over-month in August 2025, reaching CAD 66.91 billion from CAD 66.28 billion in July 2025. This growth was primarily due to a large increase in unwrought gold and precious metal imports which countered a 12.8% drop in energy product imports. Consumer goods imports rose 2.3%, driven by pharmaceuticals up 24.6%. Despite higher imports, Canada's merchandise trade deficit widened to CAD 6.3 billion in August 2025. Canada's record low imports was 1.11 CAD Billion in January 1971 and record high was 71.2 CAD Billion in February 2025.
