Canada’s imports eased slightly at the start of the year, slipping to 66.13 billion dollars in January 2026 from 66.93 billion dollars in December 2025, according to data updated on 12 March 2026.
The latest figures suggest a mild cooling in external demand or domestic consumption for imported goods after December’s higher reading. While the decline is modest, the shift will be closely watched by analysts for signs of changing trade dynamics and its potential impact on Canada’s broader economic performance in early 2026.
