Imports of crude oil into Canada fell to a one-year low in May despite a continued climb in imports from the United States, Statistics Canada data showed on Thursday. Canada imported 16.6 million barrels in May, or around 535,000 barrels per day (bpd), from around the world, with the United States as the top supplier, followed by Norway. This compares with April imports of 17.5 million barrels, or some 583,000 bpd, and May 2013 imports of 14.3 million barrels, or around 461,000 barrels per day. While imports from a number of countries increased, including the United States, Norway and Egypt, imports from the United Kingdom, Algeria, Nigeria and Mexico mostly dropped off.
