Canada's Trade Surplus Unchanged in September

Canada's monthly international trade in services surplus held steady at $0.2 billion in September 2025. The country's imports of services was up 0.8% to $19.8 billion, while exports of services rose 0.7% to $20.0 billion. Imports of commercial services drove the growth, rising 2.4% to $11.6 billion, fueled by financial services. However, travel and transportation services imports declined 1.9% and 0.8%, respectively. Commercial services exports climbed 0.9% to $12.2 billion, with exports of travel services increasing 0.7% to $5.8 billion. The trade surplus was supported by a 6.3% increase in total exports of goods to $64.2 billion and a 4.1% decrease in imports to $64.1 billion. This took Canada's trade balance from a $6.4 billion deficit in August to a surplus of $0.2 billion in September, with a combined goods and services surplus of $0.3 billion.
