Totally agreeing with you. Forum advised applying in winter for faster processing and to constantly check for possible cancellation for an earlier interview appointment date. Well, I applied Jan 13, 2020 , got conditionally approved Feb 25 and several rescheduling of interview dates later, got one, attended and received my final approval today, Feb 28, 2020

Took 31 business days for conditional approval, 2 days for interview appointment and actual interview was finished in under 10 mins.

Re interview, I was asked for driver’s license and passport, confirmed place of employment and what I did there. Asked the usual questions on country (countries) of citizenship, if I had any criminal activities or outstanding warrants and who if I travelled with anyone else. Also asking anticipated countries or places of future travels. I was NOT asked why I applied for the program. That’s it! Next was finger printing and picture taking, a brief verbal tutorial and I was on my way out. Email confirmation came as I was heading to the parking lot. Nexus Card was said to be expected in 5 business days.
