Can anyone confirm that I have the following facts right...

- If I get NEXUS (for $50) I get GE for free, and I get exactly the same GE benefits that I would get if I paid $100 for GE.

- To get NEXUS I have to go to a Canada airport for an interview

- After I get NEXUS approval, I *don't* need to go to another interview at a USA airport in order to get GE approval (?)


And then a question - how easy/quick is it to schedule the Canada interview, and are they open weekends? I live in Seattle, so driving up to Vancouver is not too difficult, but I'd ideally love to be able to just do it on the spur of the moment, like deciding on Wednesday to drive up for the weekend and scheduling our interviews for Saturday, etc. Is that possible?
