I just went to Seattle for the interview yesterday. Asked this question of the Canadian interviewer. ("Can we enroll Iris scan prior to actually receiving and activating the NEXUS card").

I didn't wind up going to Vancouver to do both interview and Iris (as I had initially planned) due to a Seattle appointment opening up earlier as well as basing on the advice above, but it sounds like I could have.

FYI.
