Yes, but Permanent Resident does NOT equal Citizen!

My mother was a Permanent US Resident for 30 years before she naturalized and became a citizen.

Both Permanent Residents and Citizens pay taxes. But only Citizens can vote.


Updated: I just checked, and technically people who have neither US nor Canadian citizenship ARE eligible for membership in NEXUS if they have permanent residency (in USA, would be a greencard), PLUS they meet all of the other conditions:

But frankly, in the real world, how many folks would apply for NEXUS who do not have US or Canadian citizenship? There can't be that many.
