The reason that I'm not a Nexus card-holder is because I don't live near the Northern border, and my trips to Canada are sporadic - but I've potentially got a few coming up in the next few months and was wondering if the ABTC benefits would apply.
I tried to use it in Montréal at the flight crew/diplomat line, but the guy at passport control had never heard of ABTC. In what I imagine to be stereotypical Canadian behavior, though, he looked at my passport (like yours, from the US), waved me through anyhow, and gently (but almost certainly mistakenly) reminded me that I should use the regular lines next time.
