However, the agent who was managing the lines specifically asked us if our baby had NEXUS, to which we said 'not yet' - and then she told us we had to go back out and get into the other non-NEXUS lane. I didn't want to create a scene, so we quickly went into the back of the other line.

Was she wrong? I'm confused when I see this link: https://www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca/en/ver...llers#Benefits - doesn't this say that all co-travelers under the age of 17 years who are traveling with 'Verified Travelers' *can* use the Nexus lane?
Did this happen at the security line or immigration? If it was the security line, the screener was wrong and you should have escalated to a supervisor.

At US immigration, only holders of Global Entry (Nexus includes this if requested with your application) may use the GE kiosks and line - not family members or travel companions
