I'm in the same boat! My kids just got approval today (we all applied on Aug 14) and still waiting for myself and husband. Earliest appointment for YYC (best for us as we live in Medicine Hat) is in March! As I was checking, one opened up in November, but only one slot, of course. We also have the added complication of having to travel 3 hours to our interview. Have you had any luck moving the whole family to a better time? We were so hoping to have this done by our trip at Christmas!

Just an idea , if you're in Medicine Hat you might as well go to Sweetgrass for your interview. Easy to get in but their days during the week are limited. Have a long weekend in Great Falls.

Hi all,

I am a Canadian permanent resident, but not citizen. I have Norwegian citizenship. I wonder if I am eligible to apply for NEXUS? Or Canadian/American citizenship is a criteria?

Thanks in advance,

Marjan

Canadian permanent residents can apply.

I applied for GE, and received "Conditional approval" 3 days later. I had the interview that same week at ORD and I received my card within 5 days. The whole process took about 10 days or less. At the time when I applied for GE, I thought Nexus was the same as GE but for Canadians only. However, on my interview the officer at ORD told me US Citizens can obtain Nexus as well and receive all GE benefits plus the Canadian version of "TSA Pre". Since I travel to Canada at least 2-3 times a year, or sometimes just connect flights in Toronto, I applied for the Nexus as well. I wish I had known that Nexus includes GE and it was $50 only vs $100 for GE. Long story short, I applied for Nexus on Sept. 19 online and my application is still showing "Pending Review" I don't understand why Nexus is taking so long ?! It has been over a month....

Standard wait time is 8 to 12 weeks

I applied on Aug. 22, 2014 and was approved from my interview on Oct. 22, 2014.

Waiting for cards

I got a response after about three months (via email).

Can any one tell me what do you have to show for Nexus interview? What kind of question they ask and can both me , wife and baby do this?

Approval letter, proof of citizenship (passport, birth certificate, ect.) and proof of residency (driver's license).

They may ask you why you want NEXUS, what do you do, things like that. Unless something comes back on the fingerprint check, you should be golden.

If all three of you are approved, call the interview center and ask if all three of you can be interviewed at the same time.

I applied September 3rd and got conditionally approved November 3rd. First appointment in Seattle is 4/22. First one in Blaine is 1/8.
