The releases of Canadian international merchandise trade and Canadian international trade in services for the October 2025 reference month will not occur today as originally planned and are tentatively set to be released on January 8, 2026. For more information, please consult "Impacts of the partial US government shutdown on the upcoming release of Canadian international trade data."
This delay impacts the publication of all products related to the release of October international trade data, including analytical reports in The Daily, and updates to data tables and interactive tools such as the Canadian International Merchandise Trade Web Application (71-607-X) and the International trade monthly interactive dashboard (71-607-x). The publication of revisions to prior months normally applicable with the October release will also be delayed.
New tentative publication dates for Canadian international merchandise trade statistics
Canada's international merchandise trade statistics for the September 2025 reference month are now scheduled to be published on December 11, 2025; for the October 2025 reference month, on January 8, 2026; for the November 2025 reference month, on January 29, 2026; for the December 2025 reference month, on February 19, 2026, and for the January 2026 reference month, on March 12, 2026. These dates apply equally for the publication of monthly data on Canada's international trade in services and remain subject to change. Statistics Canada will communicate any updates to release dates should changes be necessary. Following these releases, it is expected that the publication of monthly international trade statistics will return to the originally planned release schedule.
