    I thought American citizens needed a passport to enter Canada

    Exactly, your documents are only as good as whoever has to approve them. Nexus isn't worth a bag of sand in Pearson Airport in Toronto. They have a Nexus office at the airport, but good luck finding anyone who will let you on a flight without a passport. At least that was my experience 2...

    I thought American citizens needed a passport to enter Canada

    The problem is that no matter who you ask, there's always a chance that whomever you were talking to was just plain wrong, or were just commenting on what "typically works". Technically you are supposed to be able to fly between Canada and the US with a Nexus card and an Enhanced driver's...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2013

    I'm not a 2013 applicant, but an early 2014 applicant, but I've been tracking it all of 2014 and there has basically been zero progress outside of October. I'm also deeply annoyed that they have apparently been doing noting for the past 10 days. I did the math, the average number of days for...

    I thought American citizens needed a passport to enter Canada

    First time I ever crossed to the USA with my Nexus card they asked for my passport and since I didn't have it with me I got pulled into secondary inspection, was almost denied entry, and almost lost my Nexus card. Read the Nexus terms and conditions, you need to have your passport with you at...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    After seeing some actual progress over the last two weeks I was excited to see the movement continue. Of course, not. How can we remain hopeful with steadily increasing processing times? October was the only month we saw any progress, and even then we only got 17 days processed for the entire...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    I've been tracking it steadily, the processing time goes up by 1 month every 5 weeks. Which is why it's escalated to 14 months now from 8 in February. They're pathetically slow. From what I've heard they took a 6 month break due to government. They're actually started processing again, just...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    I don't think there will be anyone with an AOR that soon. I'm March 2014 and I've got nothing.

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    Have you ever withdrew an application from inland and reapplied for outland? If you have, please explain all the intricacies. According to the people I've been able to reach at CIC I can't do anything about it for now as it's water under the bridge. My MP's office isn't sure that withdrawing my...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    I'm the Canadian, my wife is the American. We didn't apply "outland" because honest, even though it seems obvious now that we should have gone outland when we applied they looked at us like we were insane when we asked which one to apply to. We explained to someone at CIC that we had a family...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    There's been a "massive leap" in the "Processing Applications Received" date. They are now looking at August 17, 2013. That means they're up to a blistering rate of 1 day of processing date per 2 days elapsed. Even at this rate we're still going to see increasing times. If I wasn't so...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    I've been checking weekly/monthly for basically all of 2014, and what shocks me most is the fact that the only information I can actually get from CIC is that incredibly slow moving date on their website. I bewilders me that CIC can't simply send out an AOR the day an application arrives...

    INLAND APPLICATIONS 2014

    I did the math, averaging the processing times I've been seeing on the site for 2014. CIC is taking an average of 6.5 days to move the "working on applications received [DATE]" by 1 day. So time is passing 6.5x faster than they are processing. Every month in 2014 has seen a 3/4 month increase...
