Canada Imports and Exports

Canada's trade balance reflects the difference between the value of goods exported and imported. As a resource-rich economy, Canada's exports are heavily weighted toward energy (crude oil, natural gas), automotive products, and agriculture — with the United States absorbing about 75% of Canadian exports.

Statistics Canada publishes monthly international merchandise trade data, allowing detailed tracking of trade flows by commodity, country, and province. Persistent trade surpluses or deficits can signal shifts in commodity prices, exchange rates, and demand from trading partners. Explore Canada's trade position in the analysis below.
