Me and my fiancè applied in June 12, 2024 and received an email on July 3, 2024 to schedule an interview. So quick! 3 weeks turnaround!
Will be going on August 8, 2024 at the border for the land border interview.
That is really quick! Good for you:) it looks like they have finally managed to get through the Covid backlog and are now processing applications in a timely manner.
Make sure to bring all your required documents with you. And let us know how the interview goes;)
Just so you know. There’s more than 2 enrolment Center open along the Canadian border. I did my Nexus application and it takes 1 month and 3 days from the application to the reception of the card while a friend of mine took more than 6 months. It really depends on your travel history in the USA.
You are correct - it does depend on a lot of factors and each case is unique. Did you have to speak to both US and Canadian border officers during your interview?
Yes. Anyone I know had to do it.
how’s everything going?~yeah~pro ~ 🤗
Thanks for watching!
My partner and infant kid (both canadian citizens) received an email for an interview; however, there are no slots available for the next 3 months across the two Canadian land enrollment centers. So, choosing a US enrollment center.
How do we manage the US enrollment center for the Canadian officers to interview us? Do we just meet the US border agents at the enrollment center (if we get to book our appointments) for the interview?
How do we then meet the Canadian border agents to complete the process of the interview? On our way back from the US or later so our application be completed?
Hi there. If you are going through a US land border crossing enrolment centre, they have combined interviews. So you would only have to go to one location, same as we did for our interview. You can also double check and call the specific enrolment centre you sign up for. Do you already know where you will be taking your interview?
The renewal was much quicker for me. I filed my renewal for a day then a day after I found a slot for an interview. They ask if my address was updated and whatever then they approve. It's so quick I just got my card two weeks from now. 😁😁😁
That sound like a smooth process! Assuming they already had your background information from the initial application. Did you have to give your fingerprints again during interview?
@@natashtepa yes
does anyone know how long the line ups are at Pearson typically, and the wait time for the 2nd interview? The enrolment centre is open at 4:30am in terminal one, right? And its first come, first serve. so stand in line, right?
We were recently at Pearson Airport and the note in the enrolment centre says it’s open Mon-Sat 8 am to 8 pm and Sun 8 am to 4 pm. There people in line, but I believe you need to schedule your time for the interview in the Trusted Traveler Program System.
Let us know how it went for you - curious to hear about your experience at Pearson!
Since I received my Nexus card August 2022 I have travelled 5 times through Pearson. Each trip was 3 - 6 minutes to clear customs (Nexus line).
Do i need to apply separately for all family member., OR just one online application covers whole family memebrs.?
Yes, each family member need to have their own separate application. But you can try to arrange interviews at the same time once you get approved - that’s how we did it and it allowed to save time and money on the trip to enrolment Center:)
Hi my family of 3 including my son who is 15 years old have a Nexus interview coming up. We are Canadian passport holders. What documents should I carry. Is the interview first in the Canadian side and then we have to cross the border for the US interview? Please guide? As in the application document it says first go to Canadian side and then US side. The centre being Fort Erie.
Hi there. If you are doing a land border interview, it’s all going to be in one place. For documents, make sure to take your passports and another ID. Passport will also serve as your proof of citizenship, so no need for additional citizenship document. You’ll also need proof of your residency, like drivers license. You may also check Nexus official site in case you need to bring any additional documents.
Good luck with the interview, and let us know how it goes;)
I had my interview today. It took les than 10 minutes. However I waited 9 months for pre approval.
The officer told I would have an answer in senda couple days, but I got the approval email 20 minutes after I left the border.
Congratulations! And thank you for sharing your experience! Sound like it was a smooth interview process:)
Let us know how long it will take for your Nexus card to get delivered
After 5 years, do you have to do the application process all over again? Or do you just pay the $50 fee to get the card renewed?
It depends on your profile. I know people who didn’t get to redo it and others that have to redo it.
Renewal process is very similar to the initial application: you need to submit an application, pay the fee and go to interview
I have my interview in a few days in Michigan to enter the US! I have all documentation except a passport
That should be okay right? I’m mainly wanting to visit to visit long lost friends
I believe passport is in the list of mandatory documents for your interview. It is a travel document that allows you to cross an international border.
Have you check the requirements for your interview?
Finally just received conditional approval, only after 1.5 years!!
Congratulations! Last step - the interview. Have you picked up your enrolment center yet?
@@natashtepa not yet, booked at an airport but then realized it was just the Canadian interview and I'd require a second with the Americans, so cancelled and will rebook at a land border shortly.
@@Andrico77 good luck! And let us know how it goes;) your experience can help other applicants as well
Hello, l like to know when l have my nexus interview in the us. Do l still need to have a second interview in Canada?
It depends on the enrolment center. If it’s in the airport, you’d need to do two separate interviews (US and Canadian). Whereas land border crossing have enrolment centers that can conduct both interviews at the same time
How do you know if your application was approved?
You will get a notification via email. Also, once you are in your My Account, you will see your updated status
How long ago have you submitted your application?
What do you know about the new program where you have to interview in both countries?
You first go in Canadian side then they make you cross over the US side. That's it really
That’s how they used to do it before Covid, but then during lockdown Canadian enrolment centres were closed and are just now starting to reopen slowly.
Depending on the enrolment Center if your interview, you might still get interviewed by US officers only
@@natashtepa you only had an interview with the US? Did they took your iris imprint?
@@martinguimond1796 yea, US only. Got the fingerprints and photo, no iris scans
@@natashtepa The Canadian officer couldn’t do the iris scan due to a system failure. I’m gonna try to have it done soon.
I don't have a citizenship of my country all I had was ID which I threw it away but I do have PR card of Canada, how do I apply for nexus cause they require a proof of citizenship of my country, PR card which I have and a proof that I might visit US (in which I don't know what to add)
As stated in the list of documents, you do require a passport and PR card. If you don’t have all required documents available, you won’t be able to apply
So what do we do in Calgary? Id have to fly out east for an interview??
There is an enrolment centre at the Calgary Airport.
As it’s been mentioned above, Calgary International Airport does have its own enrolment centre
canadian pr holder(indian passport holder ) but not usa visa still eligible for apply nexus card ?
Hi there. One of the requirements for Nexus is being admissible to both Canada and USA. In your case, before applying for Nexus card you should first get a US visa
@@natashtepa thank you so much
If I want to fly from Singapore to Canada, can I use my nexus card in Singapore?
Or if I want to fly from Canada to Singapore, can my nexus be used in Canada?
Thanks
Hi there. Nexus can either be used in ISA or Canada. So in Singapore it won’t be of help. You can use it when you leave Canada to Singapore for faster security check at Canadian airport and also when you come back to Canada from Singapore.
Do you already have your nexus card?
@@natashtepa hi Nat yes I just got it last week Fri, I got the interview around Nov 14th in Niagara US side.
Actually currently it can take up to 18 months. I’ve been waiting for 15 months and counting…
Yea, they are definitely still dealing with backlog after civid and the fact that Canadian enrolment centres haven’t been reopened yet. Are you still waiting for an interview invitation? What does your application status say?
@@natashtepa Yes, awaiting conditional approval. I just got a response from CBP and they said the current average processing time for NEXUS is 18-20 months.
@@tinguspingus6729 I live in Toronto and I’m driving to Port Huron, Michigan next month for my interview My best (fastest) Option was Michigan, Maine & North Dakota anywhere else was way to long waiting. So depending where you live or what your willing to travel might speed up things.
@@Booze129 Good to know. However I am talking about the conditional approval step. I need that before I can make any appointments.
@@Booze129 I do need to have a conditional approval before making an appointment, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
Im confused do I have to book both Canadian and USA side? Today my Conditional got approved
It depends where you plan to take it. If you schedule at land border Enrolment Centre, you could have a joint interview.
You can also have split interview. Once you book your first part of the interview, the other one will be automatically booked for you in the other side of the border on the same day.
There’s a third option, if you choose to have your interview in a Canadian airport. You’ll have your Canadian interview scheduled in the airport enrolment centre, and then the US part will be done during your next flight to the US - it will take place in a pre-clearance location of a Canadian airport of your departure.
Do you already know where you want to have your interview?
@@natashtepa thank you so much for the response
I have scheduled usa side Niagara EC which I think will take care of both sides at the same time.
Im scheduled tomorrow.
I have a few doubts which I cant share here publicly.
How can I get on a call with you ? Do you have instagram?
@@iashaikh20 we don’t provide private consultations - are videos are information only and we just share our experience with something we’ve done ourselves.
All you have to do for your interview is be honest and answer the questions they ask you as directly and concise as possible. Good luck on the interview! Let us know how it goes:)
@@natashtepa hi.. interview went well. Got approved in no time. Did it at Rainbow Bridge crossing Niagara border - whirlpool.
Now am i correct to conclude this card has tsa precheck and global entry and can also be used in sentri lanes ?
@@iashaikh20 congratulation! How much time did the interview take?
And to answer your questions, yes, TSA pre-check, Global Entry and SENTRI lanes can be used. Make sure to input you traveler number during your flight check-in - this needs to be done in order to use Nexus lines in the airports.
It takes less time to get a passport.
Haha that’s true!😄 but the benefits are so much more than just a passport. Are you a frequent traveller in US/Canada?
Does the Global Entry work for Canadians when incoming from a foreign country other than Canada? Some people say it works while some say it doesn’t.
Hi there. It does work, you can use designated Mexus lanes when entering Canada from anywhere in the world. Make sure to check in advance if your port of entry has Nexus kiosks or eGates. They are available in 9 international airports and many land and sea borders crossings
