As of August 2026, enhancements implemented by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) at land ports of entry enable Statistics Canada to incorporate information on travellers processed through the NEXUS Highway system into the Leading Indicator of International Arrivals to Canada.
The integration of NEXUS Highway traveller data will be phased in at all ports that receive NEXUS travellers from August 2026 to January 2027. As additional ports are integrated, coverage of international arrivals at land ports of entry with NEXUS travellers will continue to improve.
Users are advised to exercise caution when comparing data from the August 2026 leading indicator reference month onward with data from previous years, as the phased integration may affect historical comparability.
Ports which now include NEXUS travellers for the Leading indicator of international arrivals to Canada:
- Lansdowne (NEXUS enhancement implemented August 17, 2026)
* All other land ports reported through FCLI do not have Nexus lanes, thus the implementation of the enhanced system does not affect coverage.
