longtime Nexus member here - and dual US-Canadian citizen, US resident, and have both passports listed on my Nexus. Traveling to YYZ tomorrow, and just realized my Canadian passport expired in Oct (whoops…kicking myself for missing that!) obviously I’m going to get that renewed ASAP. But seems like Canadian government is ok with entering on valid US passport, though advises having proof of Canadian citizenship (I’ll carry recently expired Canadian passport for that). Question is if I’ll likely get flagged when entering if using Nexus kiosk or e-gate as it will have the recently expired passports listed, and obviously won’t be able to update it. If so, probably easier to go through the normal line (arriving from US at ~10:45pm, so expect the customs hall is on the quiet side).
anyone have experience with this, or potential thoughts/insights?
you don’t actually need a passport for nexus if you are a Canadian or US citizen. The card by itself is sufficient for travel. Some others suggested adding the birth certificate to the profile as that doesn’t expire (only useful to you now if you were born in Canada), though that’s only of note really once every ten years if you forget to add the new passport. That being said in your situation I’d personally skip the nexus lanes and just use the regular ones to avoid any issues with my nexus. Might need to be manually inspected if the kiosks don’t accept the nexus card (not sure)
