Nexus got rejected - 3 year residency not met

[abhijeet.p]

Hello All,

My Nexus application got rejected citing that I do not meet 3 years residency requirements. He is my situation :

0. I am an Indian Citizen
1. Stayed in USA from 2013 to 2019 on L1 visa
2. Relocated to India in 2020 and lived until mid 2022
3. Relocated back to USA in mid 2022
4. Received US green card in mid 2023
5. Applied for Nexus in March 2024
6. Nexus application rejected in Jun 2024

Can someone clarify if my stay on L1 visa in USA from year 2013 to 2019 can be counted against the 3 residency requirement. Shall I file for an appeal? Hope someone can help me on this.

Thanks in advance

This is a forum for Canadian visa questions. This sub-Forum is for residency requirements to maintain Canadian permanent residency. Not for the US and certainly not for Nexus.

You might be lucky and someone might know, but you’d better keep searching the internet for a more appropriate source.

Not sure how the L1 would count towards Canadian residency, but as it's a rolling 5 years, even if it did count, you can only count back to mid 2019. You've missed residency by a significant amount. There's really nothing to appeal.

The requirement is as continuous residency requirement. You broke continuous residency by returning back to India. So assuming you relocated back to the US in 2022, you need to start counting three years from then. So you're looking at sometime in 2025 before you can reapply.
