NEXUS

[deadsea02]

Hey Guys, I have question if you can answer it, i will appreciate it!
I read in some website that Canadian PR holder can apply for NEXUS card! and also it say if you are work permit/student Holder you need to provide that document! So does it mean if you are a work permit holder, you are eligible to apply for NEXUS card?
Thank You?

What is nexus card ?

It is for people who travel frequently between US-Canada by road and do not want to wait for longer time at border. They have seperate queue.

You must be a PR or citizen to apply. Work permit / study permit holders do not qualify.

Thanks scylla, if you have PR, Do you need a us visa to apply for NEXUS?

Having Canadian PR is irrelevant. What matter is what passport you hold. Your passport determines if you need a visa to enter the US or not.

If you need a visa to enter the US based on your passport then you don't qualify for Nexus.

So if you needed a visa to enter the US before you became a Canadian PR - then you still need a visa to enter the US now. And you also do not qualify to apply for a Nexus card.

After becoming PR, can a indian apply for nexus card or need to apply for visa ?

No - you cannot apply for a Nexus card. You don't qualify.

Yes - you need to apply for a visa to visit the US.

This will only change when you become a Canadian citizen and get a Canadian passport.

I checked their website, it says any one hold a Canadian PR is Eligible to apply for Nexus Card! so You dont need a Canadian citizen.

Maybe the rules have changed since I applied. (That would be good news for many.) I will look again tonight.

Eligibility

To be eligible for the NEXUS, you must be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States.
