Now waiting for the cards to arrive.
Was it difficult to find both appointments on the same day?

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.
