Canada’s imports rose slightly in December 2025, signaling a modest pickup in external demand at the close of the year. According to the latest data, updated on 19 February 2026, imports increased to 66.93 billion Canadian dollars, up from 66.53 billion dollars in November 2025.
The 0.40 billion dollar month-on-month gain suggests a stable import profile, with December posting only a marginal improvement over November. While the data do not break down imports by category, the headline figure indicates that Canada ended 2025 with a relatively firm level of foreign goods and services flowing into the country.
This incremental rise in imports will be closely watched by analysts as they assess the balance between domestic demand and external trade conditions heading into 2026. The December numbers provide an updated reference point for evaluating Canada’s trade performance and its implications for broader economic momentum.
