Dear mxzblftspk,
Your NEXUS membership is not set to expire until July 11 2016.
As an approved NEXUS member, you added Global Entry for an additional $100. When you completed your Global Entry application, you received a Global Entry card. When you activated the Global Entry Card, your NEXUS Card was deactivated and the option to renew NEXUS was removed from your account.
If you wish to renew NEXUS, you will have to wait for your NEXUS membership to expire. Once it expires, you will have the option within your GOES online account to renew NEXUS. After you follow all of the steps to become a NEXUS member again, including the completion of an interview at a NEXUS Enrollment Center near the Canadian border, you will receive a new NEXUS card and will have Global Entry benefits at no additional cost.
When your Global Entry account expires 5 years after your application, do not renew it. Global Entry benefits are included with your NEXUS membership.
It is our goal to provide you the best information we have in response to your question. If you follow the information provided in our response, and still need assistance, please reply to this email and we will investigate how we may further assist you.
Thank you again for contacting the CBP INFO Center.
Sincerely,
CBP INFO Center

I am quite confused about renewal of GE and Nexus for Canadian citizens and I have a technical question: If a Canadian citizen renew GE online but not Nexus, will he get acceptance to GE then enjoying all GE benefits, even though, his Nexus card is not renewed OR GE won't be renewed unless Nexus is renewed?

It's a good idea to have it in case the Nexus lanes are closed.

Canadian citizens who are not dual citizens of the countries listed in my earlier post are not eligible to apply for Global Entry. They do, however, receive the benefits of the Global Entry program through their membership in the NEXUS program.

I may have found away around the "can't renew Nexus if you renew GE first" problem. Instead of waiting for my Nexus card to expire, I mailed in a paper renewal application (download from the CBSA site) to the Niagara Falls processing center about a month before Nexus expires. The CBSA site says renewing with paper is allowed.

Also, as previously stated, my application did not show up in GOES until it was approved.
For anyone else caught in the Nexus/GE trap, mail in that paper renewal application. It worked for me.

Global Entry & Nexus question - renewal
I did my Original GE in Oct 2013 - expires Oct 2018 (renewal Oct 2017)
I did Nexus in Mar 2016 - Expires Mar 2021
GOES website has my trusted traveler expiration as Mar 2021
I have "Heard" if you let GE lapse, but Nexus is still up, that you are not a full GE, but no one seems to know what happens to you if you come from Asia.
Do, I have to renew GE this year or not, in order to maintain full benefits?

Nexus includes everything in GE. If you want to keep Nexus, don't renew GE.

The only thing you'd have to add for full SENTRI benefits is a vehicle inspection, if you want to be able to drive across the Mexican border.

Renewing GE
I got my GE in Feb 2014. If I apply for Nexus this year & get GE, do I have to renew my GE in 2019 and my Nexus in 2022?
When my GE renews, do I only pay $50 or do I have to pay the full $100?

If you renew GE while holding Nexus, your Nexus goes away and you cannot get it back until after that GE 5 year period expires.
It is more than a little counter-intuitive. Nexus (including GE) costs $50, while GE alone costs $100. The reason I think is that only the US decides how much to charge for GE, but both US and Canada must agree how much to charge for Nexus and the Canadians haven't agreed to raise the price of Nexus thus it's cheaper than GE alone.

Inspection toon is no longer required. However you still must register and pay the fee for each vehicle in GOES.

I was able to get an last-minute appointment a few weeks ago at YYZ. They did not do the iris scan that I recall, and I'm pretty sure that I would remember.
I was already a NEXUS member but got caught in the GE renewal trap. Theoretically they have my iris scan on file already and my Trusted Traveler Number is the same.
So I'm not sure if my iris scan is linked or not. How would I find out?
