You do realize you have now jinxed yourself! :D Let us know how the next crossing goes! ;)

I just got my Nexus in September and have used it around 10 times with only once going to secondary entering into the US. They just quickly opened my bags and I was on my way! God bless Nexus! It has saved me so much time not waiting in line so far!

That is EXACTLY what happened to me at the Whirlpool bridge

Was a tough secondary too...

Two thoughts come to mind on this:

(1) Why? Presumably you can drop people off down the road, or before crossing the bridge, or whatever, so where's the line?

(2) How in the world do they expect people to know this? To say there's zero tolerance for breaking of all rules, they really should have (at a minimum) a website where updates are posted. Same with agricultural or other restrictions, they gave me a sheet telling me what things I can't bring back from the US, but has that changed? Who knows?

=aw

I was told this when I signed up actually that you can't do that.

They usually go over the big do's and do not's right away.

I've lost count of how many times I've crossed between CANPASS/NEXUS, exclusively for air travel, but a lot. I was sent to secondary only once, in Canada, because I had to declare some dried fruit I was bringing across (allowed...however, necessary to declare). Unless you count the one other time AC lost my baggage, where secondary really means just handing over the lost luggage form to the officer in the secondary area and being asked about the contents.

Thinking back over the years I had solely CANPASS I too never had a secondary. So far (knock on overhead bins) nothing with Nexus either.

How would you describe a tough secondary at Whirlpool?

It consisted of a 15 minute interview going over all aspects of my company (number of employees, yearly revenue, etc)

I was going in an emergency capacity as we had a server failure.

All I said to them was Happy Thanksgiving

Right.

I had a Passport renewal while on CANPASS and I got pulled aside on the first trip. No bag check, they just checked out my shiny new Passport, entered something into the computer, and I was on my way.

does anyone know if the YVR Nexus opens at 8 am on Saturdays? Specifically next saturday, Dec 22nd.

thank you!

AFAIK all air border crossing Nexus kiosks are open as long as the airport is open.

Is it the road crossing that open and close at a specific time

I have a sneaking suspicion beepyou may have meant the Nexus offices in YVR? But I may be mistaken.

Although not if you are transiting to US via YYZ. We keep hearing that there will be a kiosk for us soon. Any word on when it will be installed?

Yes, I meant to ask whether the NEXUS office in YVR will open at 8 am on Dec22nd.

thanks PB!
