FWIW, the posted official time on the website was 35 business days on 2018-09-06. Considering it has been over 50 business days since then...that probably isn't a good sign about processing times :eek:.

The info has been updated now on the CBSA site, but I can't update the wiki at the top of this thread because I don't have enough posts.

Can someone please update the wiki?
39 business days as of 2018-11-30

I've been waiting for over 39 days... but then the USA side was probably shut down for a while due to American Thanksgiving in November. (Canadian Thanksgiving was Oct 08, this year.)
Hopefully I finally get my conditional approval very soon!!!

Wow, what a large spread! I wonder why they have such a big difference in processing times.

I applied between these 2 dates and I'm still waiting... maybe it is because I have been to a bunch of countries and they have to verify all the info.

Applied for my baby son on 10/24. Conditionally approved 12/10. Scheduled "interview" for my 3 month old for 12/24 at Fort Erie, ON since we are driving up from NY to Toronto for Christmas. Just got a call this evening from the Fort Erie office saying our appointment was cancelled due to the impending US government shutdown. :rolleyes:

It's a Christmas Miracle!!! :D

Applied Oct 16, 2018
Conditional Approval, Dec 21, 2018

I am a Canadian in Canada.

Exactly 67 days.
It's 49 business days, calculated based on Canadian federal holidays. Slightly less for USA holidays because of American Thanksgiving.

I phoned the Toronto Pearson YYZ Nexus office.
Same deal. No US officers present, so people have to re-schedule interviews.

Weird. Friend went to YYZ on Saturday and completed the interview. We even called ahead to ask, and they said only supervisors were affected by the shutdown, front line staff were working as normal.

Slow processing
 
Applied 9/26.
60+ days already, waiting for conditional approval.

skemsley Jan 3, 2019 7:46 am

Applied 9/27 via TTP site. Still waiting for conditional approval after more than 90 calendar days.

This is a renewal for an expired card (I forgot to renew it on my birthday), not sure if that is treated the same as a new application.

Edit to add details: I'm a Canadian living in Canada. Previously held valid NEXUS card and Global Entry. All travel in the past two years has been to the US, plus one trip to Italy/UK.
