Ahhh....so do you mean the GOES profile automatically displayed your new passport number at some point after you received your passport in the mail? Or did you have to log in and type in the new number yourself?

Also, given that this thread is about the NEXUS-GE connection: are you a NEXUS member too? And did you have to go back to a Canadian airport to get your new passport re-updated in the CBSA system? (or did it happen in GOES automatically as well?)

THANKS! This is important info for me, since my passport is expiring in 2012 and I'd really rather not make a special trip up to YYZ just to have my new passport details recorded in the system. (although that's exactly what the CBSA officer told me I would have to do every time I received new passports)
