The USA and Canadians...as of 2017, more than 3 million Canadians spent substantial time in Florida over the winter months spending just under $7 billion. Imagine; that was waaaaay back nearly 5 years ago ! However, not all 3+ million stayed in Florida for the entire winter period. That number is estimated to have be in the 400,000 range...in 1999...22 years ago. But interstingly (this is a Mexico RV forum after all) Mexico has/is host to the 2nd largest Canadian expat community in the World, right after Florida (see Mexico below).
A study in 2016 (Navarro et al) estimated the total number of Canadians in the US under a temporary resident permit to be in the range of 100,000 (that, more than 5 years ago).
I would guestimate that just before the pandemic sent Canadians home near the end of March 2020, IMO that Canadians spent close to $8.5 billion as tourists in Florida alone. Not to mention Arizona, California, and Texas.
Now Mexico. In 2017, 1.92 million Canadian visited Mexico (this, mostly, or more accurately, almost all over the winter months). That statistic from way back in 2017! 39% of them from Toronto. Canadians visiting Mexico is growing at a rate of appx 11% per annum from 2017 forward. From the Mexico News Daily. Now, by the end of statistical year 2019, 3.67 million Canadians vacationed and/or snowbirded in Mexico (wow!). By "pandemic year 2020", the numbers of Canadians visiting Mexico went through the floor catastrophically (down by 50.6%, to only 1.81 million from the previous years' 3.67 million). Mexico's Ministerio del Turismo (headed up by Miguel Torruco) announced that tourism revenue from Canadian tourists were forecasted to drop by appx $1 billion CAD in 2020.
However, there was good reason not to allow bi-directional tourism traffic back "the day where no vaccine existed" (Mexico News Daily: here--> ) However today? That has all changed, with readily-available vaccines and zero excuses not to get vaccinated across all three USMC Agreement countries.
A CBC (Canadian Broacasting Corporation) article in October 2010 estimated that between 500,000 to 1 million Canadians would be retiring in Mexico as permanent residents or part-time 6 month-ers by 2025. The number of Canadians retired to and living in Mexico way back in 2010 was appx. 75,000, "according to figures from Instituto Nacional de EstadÃstica y GeografÃa (INEGI)".

How may Canadians RV in Mexico? I can't find any statistic on that. But it would be fairly easy to estimate if all the Mexico caravan operators got together and shared their counts from all the RV parks they frequent, making a simple statistical extrapolation from those numbers. Say, every year.
