Great, thanks! So, just use my passport instead of the card at the GE kiosks I am assuming? Only approved in Nexus in May, so haven't had a chance to actually use it yet going to the USA.

Not sure specifically about Tampa, but most, though not sure if all, air points of entry in the US are using the GE 2.0 kiosks, which actually don’t need any documentation at all. They will take your photo, and then compare that to the one on file. Assuming there’s a match, you’ll get a slip (unless, again, TPA is one of the paperless locations - some are though I haven’t been through one personally) that you’ll take through, to the GE inspector who may or may not ask you questions, and then direct you how to proceed. If not, you’ll get sent to a different officer to complete verification and processing.

While the new kiosks don’t specifically ask questions that used to be on the paper form anymore, make sure you declare anything to that officer you would have had to on the paper forms before - you are still responsible for knowing the rules and what you must declare before proceeding (fruit, veg, meat, currency over US $10K, large gifts you are bringing in, if you have been on a farm in last 14 days, etc.), as you are still required to declare the info and go through the necessary inspections. If you don’t do so, and they figure it out, you will be subject to the consequences of this, including revocation of nexus and likely get ‘flagged’ to make it harder to enter US for potentially many years. Not meaning to scare, just to make sure you are aware of rules/procedures so you don’t run into issues.

Chances are facial recognition will be utilized by the CBP Global Entry kiosk at TPA so you don't need to take your passport out. However US regulations still require you to have in your possession the passport associated with your NEXUS profile. So you need to have your passport not to use the kiosk but to stay in compliance with regulations.

This contrasts with preclearing CBP at a Canadian airport using NEXUS as there is a passport waiver (for USA/CAN citizens) in the regulations so you can technically leave your passport at home (the airline however may require a passport regardless).

Nexus interview question
 

I have a Nexus interview questions, apologies if this is not the correct thread.
My mom who lives close to YUL only speaks French. If she applies for Nexus and does an interview at YUL (or maybe at the land crossing in Quebec) can the US portion of the interview be in French of have a translator?

I doubt it. How does she manage to cross the border into the US now? AFAIK CBP manages with travelers all over the world without having agents speak anything other than English.

Translators are accessible to CBP for inspection purposes. Don’t know if that will extend to NEXUS interview.

A West Islander that only speaks French, eh? If you schedule the interview at a Québéc port of entry like YUL, then the US CBP agents will either speak French or borrow a Canadian agent to translate. It’s not really an issue. I’ve been able to carry on conversations in French and English with the officers as I pass back into the US. I break out my terrible French for officers who have a bad attitude. :D

She would not cross on her own. She will cross the border with me most likely. Or if she is flying the Nexus kiosks are bilingual but she would not likely cross on her own even then. I thought it was worth a shot to ask considering that the application website for Nexus is available in French (and Spanish). :)
Anyhow, she ended up applying. We'll see.

To the best of my recollection, applicants may bring companions to translate for them at Global Entry enrollment interviews. I don't see why it would be different for NEXUS enrollment interviews. Why don't you call the NEXUS enrollment center and ask?

I’ve certainly sat and helped older relatives at interviews. Not so much for translating but to clarify for hard of hearing.

We're U.S. NEXUS holders who for the first time will be flying to Canada (YUL) from Europe (and completing the air journey there). Is NEXUS clearance now similar to Global Entry with facial recognition kiosks? Anything else we should know?

If you have not used a Canada NEXUS kiosk before (or in last 2-3 years), you will need to perform a one-time enrollment the first time you use the kiosk so that it can obtain the passport photo.

Yes kiosks have facial recognition but you do need to scan your physical card first. So make sure you bring it. There's a few signs for Nexus lanes so you can't really miss them.

No. Only NEXUS card allows you to drive across border from U.S. to Canada. Global Entry card allows you to drive across border from Canada to U.S.

Ah, but did you read the question carefully, and are you sure the answer to that question is no? You are, of course, correct that only NEXUS members are allowed to use the NEXUS lane going into Canada. But zmb is asking whether, as an approved NEXUS member but before they receive the NEXUS card, they can use their existing Trusted Traveler card going into Canada. The idea is that if the card contains only an index into the Trusted Traveler database (possibly the PASSID number, which doesn't change), and the database record seen by the officer is what matters, then the officer should be able to see that they are, in fact, a NEXUS member. I don't know the answer--would be surprised if anyone here does, actually--but the question is more nuanced than it appears at first glance.
