Well, why not just claim a flight award to fly up to YYZ? That's what I did, because fares on NYC-YYZ are ridiculously expensive. But for 25,000 RDMs, some taxes, and the $50 enrollment fee, I got my NEXUS membership, and free GE membership. And trust me, the membership pays for itself the first few times you come into ORD in the afternoon and the arrivals hall is packed to the gills!
