So my advice is not to take the chance.


My bad. I should have clarified that my previous card had expired at the time.

Please forgive, as I searched around and couldn't find anything.

Is there anything other than going through regular CBSA rigmarole when arriving at an airport other than one of the NEXUS airports? Should I even bother showing my card? Can I use the crew lane? I ask because I plan on using YKF more often now that AA/MQ is flying there.

Applied April 19, conditional approval granted June 10, just under 8 weeks.

Pretty brutal times though, earliest appointment at YVR was July 29, Blaine July 24, Vancouver/Seattle downtown August

Do you know if when you update it at the NEXUS office if GOES changes to reflect the new information? Because I updated my employment information in December 2010 at YYZ and I checked GOES now and it still has the information from when I first applied.

The normal procedure is to update GOES then go to the NEXUS office with paperwork for them to verify and copy as required. I don't think they update vs. confirm things.

You can't update employment information online - you have to do it in person. I'm asking if I should see the updated information on GOES after updating it in person, as it currently shows what was on my original application.

Thanks for your reply but more clearly I'm asking why do you need to fill out any form if you are under the allowances. I thought you only had to fill it out if you were over the allowances? No? Can't really find the answer to this one way or another?

Thank you.

When you cross via air you declare on the white TDC they give you regardless of whether you're over the limit or not. Why would ground need to be different I wonder?

I have been told you can do verbal declarations any time, but others have been told no. Since I don't know what is the exact right thing to do, I'd rather just take the three minutes to fill out the form and move on.

Put my renewal in the system Friday, April 27, and was approved (no interview) Monday, June 11. ^

So the info the agents at the Nexus office gave me on Friday was wrong? They very clearly said employment info could be updated online. (But I have not read all the printed info they gave me yet.)

(It would be pretty hilarious if they were wrong, since the American agent kept going on and on about how other people don't know anything about Nexus and we [civilians] get things wrong all the time...!) :)

About the same timing for me as well; I applied for renewal two days earlier than you and was approved today. However, I had let my Nexus expire before re-applying for renewal.

The approval notification is short on details. There is no reference to an interview, so I am guessing that I don't need one and that I will receive a new card in the mail. My renewal application is still listed on the GOES website as "Pending Review", but I am also listed as enrolled in the Trusted Traveler program.

Exact same situation here. My card expired on May 23. Approval notification letter on GOES says (in part):


We are pleased to inform you that your U. S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), NEXUS program membership has been approved. You may use the program as soon as you receive and activate your new NEXUS card.

If you enrolled in Global Entry, you may begin using the kiosk immediately.
I am enrolled in GE, so can use that while I await my new card.

I also show "pending review" as well, but my Trusted Traveler Program status is now valid until 2017 on my birthdate. I assume the new application will disappear eventually—perhaps with my new card being mailed.

what is the process to apply for Global Entry? I am already enrolled in the NExus program since the start.

May be a stupid question, but is the YUL enrollment center closed or temporarily not accepting any new appointments?

It has been "The enrollment center Montreal Enrollment Center you selected does not have any available appointments." since Friday.

Renewal with Citizenship or Name Change
 
Just got Conditional approval today; I had a name change and citizenship change.

BOTH I already had updated on GOES and with CBP and CBSA in person in YVR.

STILL though asked for an interview :(

Got earliest one in YVR which is August 7th; works out fine as I won't be back in Canada till that week anyway; existing Nexus/GE doesn't expire till December anyway.
