Anyone got Nexus card as a PR?

Do you still need a 10 year US visa to get the nexus cars??

You need to be both admissible in Canada and the USA. So if you are not from a visa exempt country in the US than yes you will need a Visa.

i have a one year us visa expiring in 6 months, if i apply for nexus card now, will it be approved or i have to get a new 10 years us visa first before applying for Nexus card?
Also, they required i have to live in canada for the past three years, i took about 2 weeks on vocation oversea in the past three years, will it be a proble?

Where did u get this answer from?? it doesnt say any think in their website about 10 years visa!!!

Yes I know. BUT if you are not admissible in the US they will not give you a nexus card! You have to be admissible in BOTH countries the US and CANADA.

As per nexus website:
You may not qualify if you:

are inadmissible to Canada or the United States under applicable immigration laws;

If you can't enter the USA why would they give you a nexus card?

If you have just 6 months VISA than why u need Nexus??
Just get a i94 and you are good for 6 months. Nexus is beneficial for those who visit US everyday or 5-6 times a month.
If you are planing to go that frequent than apply for it.

I agree, totally.

Nexus is for people who go back and forth all the time.
