I have my kids scheduled for the interview Saturday. I may have to reschedule. I recall when booking the appointments there is a notice indicating a deadline to reschedule. Can someone who recently booked an interview let me know what it is? I have 24 hours in my head. Thanks

This was a bit unexpected, but I got my conditional approval today. My application was completed sometime in mid-March, though I don't remember the exact date.
My next trip to Canada is in early May, so there are no appts. available then. After that it will be July, but I don't think they take appontments this far in advance.

I'm at 40 days since application to switch to Nexus. Guessing I have another two more weeks to wait at their current rate.

Nope. I was existing GE, still took 3 months for me to receive my approval to schedule an enrollment interview.

I am curious how the times vary - how some people who applies in early March, for example, are approved already, but for me, for example, who applied the first week of Feb, is still pending. For the record, I've had Nexus since it was a pilot program at YVR.

Would make sense, but no, definitely not. I'm at 55 days.

Applied(initial): Feb 2, 2017
Conditional Approval: Mar 31, 2017
Interview: April 28, 2017 (at YYZ Terminal 1)
Approved: April 28, 2017
Card arrived: N/A
Now just waiting for my card, they told me 2 weeks. The interview itself wasn't much of an interview, it reminded me of renewing my passport. They only asked why I wanted it. Then I just stood at the counter, took photo, took iris scan, fingerprints. Gave me some paperwork to keep and that was it. Took less than 15 minutes.
