Hello All,
I went through the website on eligibility for Nexus but still not able to get clear information.
My situation:
I am an Indian Citizen....
1. Staying in Canada since November 2012 (first study permit and then work permit)
2. Got Canadian PR in April 2016
3. Have VISA to travel to USA, till 2023
4. Traveled to my home country twice
Jan 2015 to Mar 2015
Dec 2016 to Jan 2017
and
couple of times to USA (for short periods, 4 days each)
Am I eligible to apply for Nexus?. Hope anyone can help me on this.
Thanks in advance

I think the residency rule applicable to you is three years, so you would be eligible for Nexus in April 2019.

Yes you can !
I am an Indian citizen with Canadian PR and today I got my nexus approved. Following was explained to me during the interview- 1) I get nexus card 2) I get global entry too and can use it just like American citizen. I have to use my USA visa (h1b) page through global entry kiosks to login. 3) I get TSA Pre too with no limitation.
To summarize, You should have either Canadian PR or citizenship to get nexus which will give you both global entry and TSA Pre. If not, then you have to apply for global entry program which supports some 10 to 20 countries, then you get TSA Pre as part of it.
Please vote this up guys as there seems to be lot of miscommunication about this one. Let me know if anyone has any questions.
