I live far from the Canadian border 😅

It's a new option.

Completed interviews at Blaine on Mar 17 and interview took around 10 mins with answering questions and getting 10-printed. Both approved.
Now waiting for the cards to arrive.

Was it difficult to find both appointments on the same day?

LAX

Difficult, yes as you know Blaine is almost booked out all the time. But thanks to some folks cancelling their appointments last minute, I snagged those and got ours.

The Twitter bot helped greatly. https://twitter.com/nexusbot_blaine

Data point
 
My wife applied some time in late 2019 and was conditionally approved a few weeks later. The appointments available were inconvenient so we dropped the ball... then the pandemic hit.

Fast forward to 2024:
Mar 11 - scheduled interview in Ft Erie for Mar 16
Mar 16 - split interview done, approved by the time we got home
Mar 23 - activate card button appeared
Apr 3 - received card

So does that mean your Nexus expires late this year or it is good for about 5 years from now?

It's active from the date it is approved - March 16 for @situated1825 and then expires 5 years from their upcoming birthday.

My husband and I both applied April 2023.
He was conditionally approved a week or two ago (February 2024). I am still waiting for my application to be processed.

Update: May 2024 - I got my conditional approval!

Great timing too as we are flying to the US soon and there were plenty of appointments to schedule the CBSA side at YYZ, and we can do the US side before the flight.

I don’t understand why I can’t get an appt. In Blaine? There are two links to click on for Blaine. It says appointments full through Sep 30th but there is no option to schedule. What gives? So close, yet so far lol. Guess I’ll have to keep checking until something opens up.

Got my appt scheduled for next Tues (June 4th) in Blaine, Woohoo!

The Blaine X/Twitter bot was helpful but… other people were still beating me to the punch. So, I spent a couple hours this evening refreshing the page steadily and snagged this one before it was posted.

I also noticed that the Blaine X/Twitter account has gained 24 followers since this morning. It’s competitive out there, folks! Good luck to all.
