NEXUS application
- Thread starter mukicookie
- Start date
wait for your Canadian citizenship process to complete
otherwise you will apply with your current passport it will take 15 months then you ask them to update it to the new Canadian passport it will take another few months
What documents did you take for an appointment? I have an appointment next week at the fort Erie location.
Original passport, printout of the of conditional approval notification(login to your computer to access the notification and print that out)
Make sure you check the application, if you require any corrections to be done, you can highlight it to the CBP officer who can make the updates at the same time during the interview.(No it will not delay approval or push back your application)
They will ask, why you need Nexus...

Print out approval notification, appointment confirmation, Passport, and Driver's License—plan for cross-border travel and toll payment.
I recently had my Nexus interview at Whirlpool Bridge, Niagara Falls, NY, and the experience was surprisingly smooth. Arriving 15 minutes early, I filled out a form to update my address in the application. The U.S. officer didn't ask any questions and collected my driver's license, PR card, passport, and i797. After the standard 10 fingerprinting and photographing process, she explained the details of the Nexus card. The Canadian officer was friendly too, providing insights into the program, and answered all the questions I had. My application status changed to approved within just 20 minutes.
overall they didn't ask any question other than if I had any court case pending.

You will have to first give an interview on the Canadian side and then cross the border and interview on the US side. I didn't interview at that location but initially, i booked at this location only and got these instructions from them.
I did mine in May 2023(applied in Oct 2022 when I got the Canadian passport) at Whirlpool location as well.. This place has both CBP and CBSA officers under the same room.
Even if you one needs to make changes to their application e.g. I asked the CBP officer to remove certain countries from the list that I visited as I found that I made and error at the time of filling up the Nexus application., which they did without a fuss.
CBSA officer was even more chilled out and explained the do's and dont's of the program
All in all like you mentioned, 20 mins in and out
