NEXUS application

[rizwan150]

Applied for a family of 4, 2 kids and me and my wife on Sep 18.

Sep 19, got conditional approval for both kids.

Is this nornal to get kids first and then how much time nowadays they are taking for parents of these kids ?

Oct 16, Received conditional approval for myself.

Now just waiting for my wife and then i will schedule for the interview for all 4 of us together.

I live in Thorold, can someone advise what location will be best for giving interview for faster and smoother process, all at once and any special advise for being prepared for the interview ?

I would suggest Nexus Enrollment Centre at 2250 Whirlpool St, Niagara Falls, NY 14305, United States. It has CBSA and CBP officer at the same location. So you can do both the interview at the same time.
Pretty swift and quick.

For our family we did the interviews for all members at this location.

Go with the passport, printout of the application and interview document

Thank you. Do they really ask for the application ? I was reading the interview document and didn't see anything about application. Just curious to know if they do ask for the application ?

No they don't, but good to carry it in case you want them to make any last min changes.

Received the conditional approval for my wife as well today morning.

Now trying to find the appointments for a family of 4, earliest appointment is coming on Jan 2 at niagara falls 2250 whirlpool st location. Do i need to select 4+ in this section while booking ?

Any advise or any way if i can get it faster?

Once appointment is booked, do we have an option later on to look for an earlier date availability if it comes and change the date ?

Thank you.

Hi All- has anyone applied for Nexus within BC. I applied for in Jan this year for self and for my family in February.
Bit sloppy on my part. I got my conditional approval now but don't see any appointments at airports. US enrolment center in Washington does not let me book appointment but says full till Feb. 2025.
Any suggestions what to do

So we had our appointment (Self, Wife and Daughter) yesterday at Fort Erie. CBSA officer was nice and just confirmed address and work details. Was out in 10 mins. He than guided us to cross the bridge for our 2nd part of the interview. Crossing the border was also relatively easy. The officer guided us to the Nexus EC. Inside the building we waited for may be 10 mins before being called. The CBP officer also just clicked our pictures and took fingerprints. She than confirmed all the information (Name, DOB, Citizenship etc) and told us card will come in 2-3 weeks. No additional questions. My daughter's and wife's application showed as approved almost instantly. Mine was approved after exactly 24 hours.

Thank you very much for your detailed explanation. Greatly appreciate your time in responding ...

Was traveling to South America with a stopover in Newark. Got to Toronto Airport 5 hours before my US flight. After check-in, baggage proceeded to US immigration. Was directed to a waiting area in terminal 1. Had to wait 2 hours before we were called...for interview and inspection of documents. When we got home 2 weeks later the Nexus card was in the mailbox...

I am trying to apply Nexus as a new Canadian Citizen. Before moving to Canada I was in the US for a period of 6 yrs under H1B and right before my move my immigration petition to renew my H1B was denied(was within US at this time).

What would be the answer for the below question which is being asked while filling the application.

Have you ever been found in violation of customs or immigration laws or other federal import laws?
I know I havent violated any but the ? near this says the following wording which is a bit confusing "A customs violation could be failing to declare goods or merchandise, or bringing in prohibited goods etc. An immigration violation could be any immigration document issues, refusal into United States etc. not all violations are disqualifying but should be noted. "
