Applied for Nexus 3/26/14
Conditionally approved 4/23/14
Interview scheduled 7/23/14 at YEG
Need to interview in YVR, YYC, or YEG as I want the iris scan and can easily get to those locations. So I'll keep looking for earlier dates. YYC and YVR were well into August when I checked....

Looks like they've sped up the process. I applied last year at the end of May, got my conditional approval in mid august and scheduled my interview for late October (could have done it earlier but it was the only date that worked for both my girlfriend and myself). However, I did do the interview in the Fort Erie crossing; if we had scheduled it for YYZ it would have been 8 weeks later.

I'm, hopefully, about to finish up the process so I thought I'd give out my time line to help other.
April 14- applied online
May 14- condidional approval
May 16- interview scheduled in Vancouver
A note on the interview date, I originally was only able to get September 17th as the earliest time. However, I kept checking every 20 minutes and suddenly May 16th popped up so I pounced on it. Most of the day the dates opened up in August and no earlier, so I probably just got lucky.

Nexus - Pending Review
Applied for Nexus on May.20th/14. Today is June.25/14 and still "pending review". Anyone else in a similar boat? Seems it can take anywhere from 10 days to 3 months...
I am located in Vancouver, BC and plan to go to YVR for the interview...

You may wish to head down to Blaine for the interview as it will move up the appointment time considerably compared to YVR.

I lost of my Nexus card a few weeks ago.
Applied for new one on June 12th and i'm still pending review (July 3). Fortunately I'm not scheduled to travel in the near future, but I would like to get the card replaced sooner rather than later, for obvious reasons.

Applied in May. Got approved yesterday and they had a interview opened today at 2:45 YYZ. I got there early at 2. Really simple, just had to sign in and wait for your name to be called. Got called at 2:15. Did iris scan, CBSA just asked simple stuff that was already on the application. The US agent was right next to her, all he told me to do was have my fingerprints and have my picture taken. I'll have my card in 7-10 days.

Pending Review...
Update July.3rd - Got conditionally approved yesterday. 3 locations to go to in Vancouver, BC. Blaine was by far the shortest wait and YVR had nothing till Jan.2015. Originally had a appt in September at the border. Checked every few hours for cancellations/updates and got one scheduled in late July.
