You're correct.

Domestic Screening Fast Lane at YEG to stay
 
Looks like this is here to stay for NEXUS members and will be expanded across Canada! Woohoo :)

Can I go for my Nexus interview in the US (such as in Detroit) and then drop by a Nexus office at a Canadian airport to do the Iris scan after that without an appointment? If so, would I have to wait for my card to arrive before getting my iris scan, or could it be done without it but after having the interview at another location?

Thanks!
Yes - as long as you're approved, you can get the iris scan done before you receive your card in the mail. I'm not sure about other airports, but at YYZ, you don't need an appointment for the iris scan. I did my interview in Fort Erie and then did the iris scan a few days later at YYZ, then when my card arrived a week or so later, I was ready to start using Nexus immediately.

No advantage to one or the other. However, if your passport doesn't have your middle name or only lists an initial you will need to provide a birth certificate.

Fort Erie has the iris scanner now (since at least May 2010, likely longer), for the sake of the thread archive. I did my scan there. I hadn't set foot in an airport NEXUS office until three weeks ago.

card activation?
 
I received my card today and went to GOES account to activate, but can not find an activation button. Is my eyesight this bad or is the site sometimes behind the snailmail?

Yes, you're right. In my case, I had my interview at Whirlpool on a Saturday afternoon and the Fort Erie office with the iris scanner was closed by the time I had finished my interview. Hence my trek to the YYZ airport to get it done.

Hi. So I've been thinking about getting a Nexus card but I'm still unclear on one thing:

Through several posts and sites with information on the Nexus program, they highlight that it was made to facilitate travel between US-Canada borders. However, once you are cleared by both agencies, you become a "trusted" traveller.
My question is, can I use the Nexus card to go through customs quickly when flying in to Canada directly from Europe? or do I have to always travel from the US?

As long as you fly to a Canadian airport that has NEXUS, yes. Currently that's all Canadian airports that do US preclearance (YVR, YEG, YYC, YWG, YYZ, YOW, YUL and YHZ).

In the bottom right corner I have an "Activate membership card" link. Don't you?

For Canadians, the NEXUS card is an evolution of the CANPASS card, our original expedited/trusted traveler entry program. (The Canadian government decided to integrate CANPASS into NEXUS which was the American originated border crossing program.) Because of this, Canadians (not sure about Americans or Mexicans) holding NEXUS cards can use the kiosks at our airports when returning from any destination. However, for Americans and Mexicans, the NEXUS card was a single purpose border-crossing card and not intended for entry from any other countries. That's why the US created the GLOBAL ENTRY program, and have now allowed Canadians (but not Mexicans yet) become members if they have NEXUS.

So the short answer is YES!

Hey guys.. So I thought I'd join the thread lol.

I applied last Monday, 2/28, and got conditionally approved today.

The interview isn't until JUNE!! Man are they busy...

I was wondering what your experiences were with the interview, and what to expect.

Thanks in advance

There's only "Manage Membership". I sent an email to their customer service, so hopefully they fix it before my next trip.
