I'm a US citizen who became a Canadian PR about a year ago. I tried to update my NEXUS account last year to add my CA PR card, but because of the offices being closed, etc., it was done via Mail, Phone calls, and Emails to the Blaine office. Eventually they added it to my profile but it's listed under "documents proving you can enter the United States". But every time I used the NEXUS kiosk to re-enter Canada, the receipt said "V" and not "R" like my Canadian citizen spouse (I presume V=visitor and R=resident). But I just show my PR card with the NEXUS receipt and CBSA never says anything and waves me through.
Doing my renewal today - there's no where to indicate my Canadian PR status or card details, only if I was also a Canadian citizen to put in details about that. Is that going to be an issue with the renewal process? Or should I just anticipate having to interview for the renewal for the Canadian side to properly process my PR card in their system?

I'd definitely show your PR card at the interview, but I'm not sure if having it in your NEXUS file with CBSA would have an effect on this particular thing.

I might be wrong, but I always thought the V/R status came via the advance passenger information system at airline check-in. I'm a Canadian citizen who lived in the US for a few years, and got "V" on my receipt when I put my country of residence as United States, but went back to getting "R" again after I moved back to Canada (and put Canada as my country of residence at check-in).
I'd definitely show your PR card at the interview, but I'm not sure if having it in your NEXUS file with CBSA would have an effect on this particular thing.

Anyway I submitted the renewal today so we’ll see what happens sometime between 2 weeks to 2 years.

It was disclosed in a recent article in the Point Roberts, Washington community newspaper All Points Bulletin that the grace period for a Nexus interview after receiving conditional approval has been apparently extended from two years to five years.
The backlog of Nexus and FAST applications in the queues of the CBSA and CBP has apparently grown to nearly 350,000 with approximately 11,500 new or renewal applications being received every day. That is going to take quite a while to clear.

I do not know the veracity or source of this information, but per this article https://www.allpointbulletin.com/sto...terviews,21059
Conditionally approved Nexus members who re-applied for membership before their card’s expiry date will now have a five-year grace period to complete their interview and receive a new card. That also applies to new applicants although they will not enjoy Nexus benefits until they actually receive a card allowing them to use the Nexus lanes. The previous grace period was two years.

I submitted my renewal Aug 10, 2021... and still waiting. Hopefully my renewal will be processed soon! Why couldn't they process these in order the application was received?

So for those applications that went into a black hole, approvals are happening now and, seemingly, in order. My guess is yours will be adjudicated in the next two weeks, if not sooner.

Data point for NEXUS renewal application:
First renewal (expiration in late 2022)
US citizen
Renewal application: 2022-06-25
Full approval (no interview required): 2022-08-15 (51 days)
Received card in mail: 2022-08-29
New expiration date: Birthday 2027
Address on notification letter in the TTP Dashboard was where I originally interviewed (Blaine).
I thought that I would likely need to interview because I moved states (WA->CA) and switched jobs, so I considered switching to Global Entry. Glad I took the chance to just go through with NEXUS renewal.
Countries visited since the initial application were Japan, Taiwan, and China, and I crossed the US/Canada border pretty regularly from 2017-2019.

Got my renewal notice today!
Citizenship: Canada
Second renewal application: 2021-08-09
Approval without interview: 2022-08-30 (386 days, 1y 21d)
New expiry date (according to the TTP portal): birthday 2027
I was surprised to get the interview skipped — I had about six different home addresses in the past five years, and visited two additional countries (Iceland and the Netherlands). My card photo's also 10 years old, but I guess the machines have newer photo data to compare against from recent crossings.

I got an email saying to:
1. renew Nexus. I have 6 months left before expiration.
2. they said that they are giving one year extension of validity past the expiration date
What's the best strategy to get the most out of Nexus validity? Is it to wait until Nexus is expired in 2 months? Will the new Nexus card be issued about 12 months later, which is 1-2 months before the extension expires. If I apply now, I will get to use only about 6 months out of the 12 months extension.
How about credit card expiration date? Does Nexus charge the credit card now or in a year?

You might get lucky and your renewal is approved within a few short weeks but it could be up to a year or more.
Your card will be charged immediately when you apply online.

Definitely apply now before it expires so your privileges continue while your renewal application is in progress. If you wait till it expires, you will have lost the NEXUS privileges and will have to wait till the renewal is approved.
You might get lucky and your renewal is approved within a few short weeks but it could be up to a year or more.

What also might happen is the Nexus card won't be able to be used for Real ID because the printed date is expired, even if Nexus privileges are extended one year.
