Since the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, who are the only U.S. presidents not including Donald Trump that never visited Canada while in office?

Since the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration, only Presidents Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter have never visited Canada while in office. Noting some facts, thirty seven U.S. presidential visits have been made to Canada by twelve presidents over the last century. Because the U.S. president is both head of state and the top executive of government, visits to Canada have taken many forms. Some range from formal state visits, to official visits, working visits, or private visits (Franklin D. Roosevelt made personal vacations).

Since the first presidential visit, made by Warren G. Harding in 1923 (just a few weeks before his death), Canada has become one of the most common presidential international travel destinations. Currently as of February 2018, incumbent president Donald Trump has not yet made a visit to Canada.

Seven presidents had the privilege to address a joint session of the Canadian parliament, with Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ronald Reagan both speaking twice. It has been shown time and again that nearly every U.S. president has understood that Canada is America's good and steady friend, ally, and neighbor. The two countries have a bilateral relationship that is one of the closest and most extensive in the world. This is reflected in a high volume of bilateral trade (more than $1.8 billion a day in goods and services). Plus, citizens in each country have on-going daily people-to-people contact which experts believe will never come to a complete end.
