Congrats that was like a express processing

I submitted in Oct 2022, still waiting on conditional approval

That is exceptionally fast. I read about someone getting approved in 48 hours but that is probably a system glitch. Normal timelines look like 6-10 months. Dated article mentions the backlog is going down, so fingers crossed. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/nexus-travel-program-resume-1.6784853

I've applied Nexus last year on Feb 04, 2022 but it is "Pending Review" and stuck at "Wait for conditional approval"
Is there anyone who has spend over a year with same status?
Can I check with any agency for status\approval?

After 15 months of waiting I have conditional approval for my nexus application.
next step to book personal appointment for interview.

The Whirlpool Bridge in NY location had both CBP and CBSA officers
First it was CBP folks and then CBSA one
They just asked for the Canadian passport since I mentioned that in my application
They asked do you know @wincanton I said Naah man, not at all. They instantly approved it
Ok on a serious note.
First interview was done by CBP at the enrolment centre (EC)
- They asked me why am I applying for this card
-They verified the info with you on the application.
-I had a few corrections ie countries that I travelled since 2018. I had entered additional countries which I wanted them to remove which they did.
-I requested them to update my job profile title, that was updated as well
-Then they took a picture(which goes on the card) and the biometrics (fingerprints)
-They explained the benefits of the TSA Pre-check and Global Entry. They also mentioned that if you are crossing eg Whirlpool bridge with other travellers all of them need to have Nexus card with them to cross this bridge.
-They informed me of the validity of the card which is 5 years and expiration will be date of birth. The card can be renewed as early as up to a year before expiry
- I was informed card will be mailed within 10 days to the mailbox
That was about it with CBP agent..
CBSA officer at the reception explained almost the same stuff (no biometrics or photos done by them). It was more like do’s and don’t and I was out of there within 15 mins
Got an email an hour later that the application has been approved

Team - I applied for my Nexus in October 2022. It has been exactly 7 months but I haven't received my conditional approval yet. Is anyone else in the same boat? How long is it taking on average to get the conditional approval?

Hey,

I've a quick question. I want to apply Nexus and in the meantime my citizenship application is still ongoing (almost there; waiting oath)

Would it be wise to wait a little bit more and apply Nexus once I get citizenship/passport ? If I apply with my current status/passport, do I need to make any changes after my citizenship application processed ?

Apply for Nexus once you get the Canadian passport

Hi Abbas,

Thank you for your reply. I applied towards the mid of October. Hopefully, my conditional approval will come through soon!
