And from what I just read in the USA today website that soon the Germans will be able too.

Interview YVR
 
Can anyone tell me if I can gain access to my appointment witin security? In other words I am doing my interview on my way to Vegas so I will be there. Instead of leaving security can i go through security and then US customs and then onto the intreview within the security side??

Nope, it is usually a second office and you don't get your Nexus card right away, take a week or two before you receive it. So you won't be able to use your Nexus card for Vegas

The NEXUS office, as all the other ones, are outside of the "security" area.

Your best bet in Vancouver is to exit as if you are a domestic traveler into YVR, then go to the U.S. departure check-in area. The NEXUS office is on the opposite side where the United Airlines check-in counters are.

I wish they all did take place in T1 however all my flights are arriving and departing T3. All skyteam flights.

There's no issue using nexus to clear in both areas.

I knew I had to wait for the card to arrive in the mail, but I thought I could do the interview within security. Well now I know that I have to get out and yes I know exactly where United. Thank you for answering my question.

This will cut into my MLL time :D

Do note the Nexus office is perpetually behind in their interviews. Honestly, I think it's a tactic with the US Customs interviewers, but whatever the cause, be prepared!

I think mine was delayed for at least 45 min.

At YYZ T3 you can enter Canada and then pre-clear US entry with Nexus.

I am not sure about baggage pickup, custom and drop-off for transiting passenger onward to US/EU for YYZ is one of my home airports.

I haverseen baggage service at the baggage area before clearing customs so you may be able to forward your bags without going through Canada customs.

You collect your bags, clear canada customs and then make a left into the connection passengers area after you hand your card in to re-check your bags, then proceed upstairs to go through security.

(Assuming your bags were checked all the way through and you have boarding passes..otherwise you need to schlep your bags upstairs and check-in with the appropriate airline).

I had my YVR interviews on Wednesday and had to wait 30 min. past the scheduled time. After that, everything went very quickly for me (a renewal) compared with others waiting "on the Group W bench". Turns out the folks in line ahead of me were all first-timers and I kept getting called ahead of them.

Perhaps it has something to do with sharing an office with the Canadian officers but the US interviewer was remarkably quick, polite and soft-spoken. What a difference from my first NEXUS interview back when you had to go to the little US Immigration office behind the UA counters and suffer a lot of "mouth" from everyone from the security guard to the interviewers.

By the time I got home, I had a e-mail confirmation from GOES that all was acceptable and my new card would be in the mail.
Painless, except for the wait.

New Enrolment Centre at Whirlpool Bridge in NF NY
 
I went to the Whirlpool Bridge today and noticed that there was a sign indicating that the building next to the NEXUS toll kiosk is now an Enrolment Centre. I had been using the one in Fort Erie for updating information and getting declaration books (which you must use entering Canada). So here are the official details.

2250 Whirlpool Street
Niagara Falls, NY 14203
Tuesday - Friday:
8:30 AM - 8:00 PM

Saturday:

I have an interview in two weeks in Toronto.

Just wondering how long does it take for the card to be mailed and delivered if I get approved.

Thank you in advance everyone.:)
