Proposed Application Fee Increase for Global Entry and NEXUS
The CBP is proposing to increase both the Global Entry application fee of $100 and NEXUS application fee of $50 to $120. The SENTRI application fee will be reduced from $122.25 to $120. Minors under age 18 would be exempt from the application fee if they apply at the same time as a parent or legal guardian or if their parent or legal guardian is already a member of the same program to which the minor is applying. Otherwise, the minor would be required to pay the $120 fee.

Harmonization of the Fees and Application Procedures for the Global Entry and Secure Electronic Network for Travelers Rapid Inspection Programs and Other Changes (and PDF) (alternate location of proposed rule with link to submit formal comments)
CBP has performed a fee study entitled “CBP Trusted Traveler Programs Fee Study” and determined that a uniform $120 fee is appropriate and necessary to recover a reasonable portion of costs associated with application processing for these three CBP trusted traveler programs. In this document, CBP is proposing a $120 application fee for the Global Entry and SENTRI programs. CBP intends to publish a separate Federal Register notice that addresses the NEXUS application fee (which will be consistent with the fees proposed here for Global Entry and SENTRI). With respect to the application fee paid by minors, CBP is proposing in this document that, for the Global Entry and SENTRI programs, minors under age 18 would be exempt from the application fee if they applied concurrently with a parent or legal guardian or if their parent or legal guardian is already a member of the same program to which the minor is applying. Otherwise, the minor would be required to pay the $120 fee.

With NEXUS, minors' applications are currently free and memberships are valid for five years after the first birthday following the approval, even when the minors turn 18 during that five years period.

My understanding from reading posts here and elsewhere is that, for NEXUS, Canada would have to approve such a rate increase. Is that correct? Any idea if that has a chance of happening at about the same time as the change for US-only programs, or would it likely take significantly longer?
A good thing to potentially come from this is that credit cards that as of now reimburse only TSA Pre and Global Entry should also reimburse NEXUS! That would be great!
