I am being told by other people that if you are approved for Nexus, you have Global Entry, regardless of point of entry to this country. They're saying you can spend LESS money and still get ALL of the Global Entry benefits with Nexus. I thought Nexus was a dedicated program between Canada and the US.
If someone could please help me out here, I'd be much obliged.
Yep. All the benefits of GE and Precheck, plus the equivalent benefits in Canada. And yep, the GE and PreCheck benefits apply to all locations with GE and PreCheck. At half the price.
It's government math, most likely the result of an agreement between the US and Canada where Canada insisted on limiting the cost. The few disadvantages I can see:
- You have to travel to/near the Canadian border for the interview
- You have to be interviewed by both CBP and CBSA
- If you are inadmissible to Canada, you won't qualify for NEXUS
