FYI, just got my Nexus card revoked for a border violation from 1993 I forgot to declare. When I was told of the revocation it took me hours to figure out what the hell happened in '93.

We were boating in L. Ontario and had severe weather...headed for nearest shore and tied up at a US dock without a water landing permit. CBP agent arrived with gun drawn and gave us the option to sign we entered illegally or go to jail for the weekend until a judge was in Monday morning.

That sucks. Any appeal mechanism? Are you able to re-apply in the future after a number of years?

As per the revocation letter I called in to make an appt with a Supervisor. I rec'd a call back from a semi-rude agent telling me not to bother coming in as I had lied to them. I said that it wasn't a lie, it was just a long time ago and a water based issued which frankly I haven't thought of for 15+ years. She didn't care and said I could appeal to the Ombudsman via letter.

I called a US based immigration lawyer who was in the press for getting Nexus cards returned...he said he heard there were 50+ revocations in BC the past week, all for old violations that were undeclared. He said my appeal to the Ombudsman has a 75% chance of success and if not successful to appeal to the Regional Field Office where there would be a 75% chance of success. His fees are VERY reasonable for aiding in the process.

Will update as things progress.

It states he is a CAD citizen but when you apply you have to have been a resident (3 years) and presently a resident of Canada or the USA.
Though it may be a personal issue, it does have an effect on NEXUS holders. You can not be a resident of Dakar, Senegal and hold a NEXUS card. Though I am not a NEXUS holder as I am a non-resident, I think abusing the system is not right for honest NEXUS holders.

Telling a bailiff (process server) you are a non-resident of Canada and yet you still hold a NEXUS card is illegal use of the card. We know he uses it to travel a lot stating residency in Canada.

Like Revenue Canada or a few other agencies there are snitch lines. If he does not want to be served based on stating non-residency and in reality he abuses NEXUS rules, I am not looking for your opinion but I am looking for info where this man be reported for misuse of his NEXUS card.

He lied to the bailiff, so what does that have to do with Nexus?

Yes, my problem will be solved by creating havoc with someone not using a NEXUS card like you honest folk do. It is not a right to be a holder but an honor. Therefore why allow people in the system to abuse NEXUS rights when so many are honest card holders. I requested this as I wanted to find the right contact either in the USA or Quebec and send them these documents proving he stated he is a non-resident of Canada.

Uh?

Holding a card while not a resident may be. But telling something wrong to a bailiff is not.

BTW if you don't want people's opinion, just refrain from posting on your personal life. :D
