Wow, Canada is quick in their approval of NEXUS applications. I applied last Friday, 1/6 and got a call from a CBSA officer this morning asking me some questions about my misdemeanor conviction and the circumstances that led to the charge. She then told me I'm approved on the Canadian end but that the US still has a 7-8 week backlog (so probably late February or early March before I'm conditionally approved in GOES). She also mentioned that I should bring as many documents as possible to my interview: a conviction certificate is required but officers may ask to see a police report or other court record.
