- 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?

I live in the US, I signed up or NEXUS first for $50. Went to Toronto for my interview and Iris scan. While there they added GE to my record. I have access to both now. I used NEXUS twice this weekend and worked great with no problems and saved me from missing a flight since I did not have to wit. Totally worth it
