Also, just to clarify, it's not TSA, which is the domestic/internal airport screening force in the United States, or TSA PreCheck, at YYZ. It's US Customs and Border Protection at Canadian preclearance facilities, and the CATSA (Canadian Air Transport Security Authority) Trusted Traveller fast lane/queue.

Nope. GE cards are only for US citizens, US lawful permanent residents, and Mexican nationals.

In other words, if you're native and get GE then you get the plastic no problemo, but if you're from foreign shores, get GE and then become permie/citizen then you have to fork out under the pretense of having lost something you never had in the first place.

I didn't get an answer but I paid the £42 again for the Access Number and have subsequently renewed on the TTP site for $100. This involves confirming existing information. The TTP site shows my application as "pending review". No idea how long this will take or whether I will be required to attend an interview in the US again.

Bugger that, I'll just turn up at appointment centre and deal with them directly. Or apply as if brand new with my LPR card.

That's pretty impressive on the interview. Our processing times are almost identical.
UK Citizen:
Applied UK Border Force Tuesday 13th February
Approved Wednesday 14th February
Applied TTP Global Entry Tuesday 13th February
Conditional Approval Tuesday 27th February
I'm not in London so have booked an interview for April 4th when I know I'll be around. There is currently availability every working day in April.
I've also seen that as of February 24th, you can complete your enrollment on arrival at participating airports which would have been a useful option for me had there been nothing in London. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-t...llment-arrival
