Canada’s imports rose strongly in February 2026, climbing to 72.05 billion Canadian dollars, up from 66.50 billion dollars recorded in January 2026. The latest data, updated on 2 April 2026, point to a notable month‑on‑month expansion in foreign purchases.
The increase from January’s 66.50B to February’s 72.05B suggests robust demand for imported goods and services, which may reflect firm domestic consumption and investment activity. While the underlying sector breakdown is not provided, the headline figures indicate that Canada’s external trade flows remain dynamic at the start of 2026.
With imports advancing at this pace into February, analysts and market participants will be watching upcoming releases closely to assess whether the surge marks a temporary spike or the beginning of a stronger trend in Canada’s trade profile.
