How long did it take you to get the interview from the date you applied?

I got my card 5 business days after my interview. I went to Pearson and live in Toronto. My appointment was 6 weeks after I applied, but I just checked the website every 2nd day and got an appointment 4 days after the pre approval.

I applied on April 10. So about 2 weeks to get an interview.

Just hope if i am approved for the card, it does not take long than 3 weeks. I flying in and out of U.S.A Canada for work a few times in mid June.

Thank You u2hibby

That is very good news, also I will now be checking the website for cancellations just in case i can move my date up.


I notice if people don't mind the drive to Fort Erie, there are dates available in two days.''

Just checked again, and was able to move up my interview to this Thursday.

Thank you u2hibby

Hey I'm a little worried, I live with my dad and i don't have any utility bills in my name, nor do i rent or have a mortgage.

Hope this wont be a problem, I do have my bills and all my tax forms with my address.


Thank you ..

Bring any correspondence you have with your current address from the government and you should be ok. They didn't even ask for mine, but I have lived at the same address for 20+ years.

Thank you for all you help.

Just one more question;). Do you know or anyone if there are nexus kiosk's in Toronto Terminal 3.

And thanks again

There are definitely Nexus Kiosk's in YYZ T3. I almost never fly through there, but was rebooked on DL during the Christmas fiasco....it must have saved me over an hour in line at that time.

Thank You......^

Make a hard left into the crew/special services lane (there may or may not be a nexus sign, depends on the day) as soon as you enter the customs hall.

You might have to pass by some air crew to get to the machines (against the wall on the left once you get to the front of the SS line)..you'll probably get some nasty looks as you navigate in front of them.

errr..the above applies to US pre-clearance.

Instructions are the opposite for canadian side, proceed all the way to the right hand side of the arrivals area, there's a lane that's 90 degrees to the regular line up, seperated with metal railings, should say canpass or nexus overhead. Machines are against the very far right wall of the customs hall (right where they collect your exit cards)...however, if the machines are broken...the special services line is all the way on the *left* side of the hall..annoying.

Thank you. mattm00se

Very helpful.:-:

Update.
Great service! Interview Apr 21. New Card in the mail today.

Something I was not aware of: although I'm renewing now (in April) for "5 years", the card states that it will expire on my birthday in October 2015. This seems to be intended to harmonize with our present BC driver licenses which always expire on our birthday. Now if we could only talk the passport folks into something this sensible...

Had my interview today, now I just have to wait 2 weeks until my card arrives.

My first interview was in 1 month but kept checking the website 3 days ago and was able to switch to today.

Thank you all.^

Nexus cards have always expired on your birthday. Prior to Nexus though, when I had Canpass, I don't remember it being that way.

Problems at YYZ early am common?
 

I landed in YYZ from EZE at about 5:20 a.m. on the 27th and went to the Nexus kiosks.

I tried a few of the kiosks, but each one gave me an error, either indicating it couldn't do an iris capture (after the audible shutter sound and the "Thank you for your co-operation"), and/or an error message after that step on the screen that said something to the effect of "System Problem, please try again".

I went through the regular customs lane and explained to the extraordinarily surly agent that the Nexus kiosks didn't seem to be functioning.

Later that same day, I used the kiosk at YVR heading to US and no problem.

I am wondering if this was attributable to some sort of reboot/early morning issue as I suspect that is one of the earlier flights to land at YYZ.

Anyone else experience same?
