Canadian NEXUS holders get to use Global entry as NEXUS is a US/Canada joint trusted traveler program. You need to be approved by US DHS/CBP and Canadian CBSA.
Global Entry is a trusted to enter US program. There is no Canadian CBSA participation.
At US preclearance checkpoints Global Entry and NEXUS both head to the GE kiosk. At the security priority line the sign say NEXUS, NEXUS get your through for sure, GE carrying passengers is YMMV.
