NEXUS card application - Canadian PR

[abfordata]

Hi,

I'm trying to apply for nexus card. In the application, it asks for an 8 digit pr card number.
The PR card has only 10 digit document number (UCI) or PR number which is 2 letters and 7 digits. I'm not sure which number to add for Canadian PR.

Has someone with a PR recently applied for nexus?

The PR card number is listed on the backside of the card. Its not the same as uci.

I have the same question. There is some error on the site, it says Canadian PR on top but it is actually expecting a US green card number. Canadian PR number is more than 8 digits. How do you get around this

Hi guys,
did anyone applied the nexus card ?
how did you entered 8 digit number where as in PR card, we only have 7 digit ?

I have raised a ticket and called the CBP to escalate this. Altough this is escalated, they mentioned it would take several weeks to get response. In another thread I found some people filled up UCI# but not sure whether their application was approved. If anyone has any clue please let us know

any luck with this guys

 

[sayan_mariners]

Yes, they responded. You should use the UCI no, dropping first two number

Hi.I need clarity on the below. I’ve been a Canadian permanent resident since January 2022, but I’ve held a work permit and living in Canada since September 2019. Am I eligible to apply for Nexus, or do I need to be a permanent resident for three years first?

If you are a permanent resident, you must have been a legal resident of Canada or the U.S. for at least 3 years before applying. You are exempt from the 3-year residency rule if you are:

• serving in the American armed forces in a foreign country
• a family member of a person serving in:
  • the Canadian or American armed forces in a foreign country, or
  • a Canadian or American diplomatic mission or consular post in a foreign country

You lived in Canada for more than 3 years. So I think you can apply but if you will be approved or not, it's up to CBSA and US custom.

thank you! also can I apply for my child’s Nexus without a Canadian Passport? We only have the Canadian birth certificate which we use to enter the US via car.

I don't think you can apply for Nexus without a passport. May be get a passport for you child first.
