Have they? I did not notice.

There seemed to be some lack of clarity if it was working or not. I was mostly mentioning what *I* saw as the highlight of the newsletter, and that there is one.

It gives one hope when you see a program run so well by agencies of government (in this case *two* governments) that they stand as excellent example to even the private sector.

If AC/AP added features of such quality and with such frequency this would be a different forum altogether.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) Pre-Check expanded to Canadian NEXUS members
Effective November 15, 2012, Canadian NEXUS members now enjoy TSA Pre-Check at 27 airports for domestic travel within the United States. For a list of participating airports see: http://www.tsa.gov/sites/default/fil...11-13-2012.pdf.

Residency Requirement
Spread the word! Effective June 30, 2012, Canadian and American citizens living outside of Canada or the United States or who have recently returned to either country are now eligible to apply for membership in the program.

Streamlined Renewal Process
For the majority of renewing members who have not had changes to their information and have maintained their low-risk status, the renewal interview may be waived.

Traveller Benefits
NEXUS dedicated lines for Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) security screening at major airports offering NEXUS services have been expanded to all flights departing to the U.S.

Traveller Declaration Card (TDC)
Reporting goods is now made even easier: the TDC is now online in a saveable PDF fillable format and allows you to complete the majority of the fields only once. For more information please visit: http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/travel-vo...tions-eng.html.

Reminder: Your Membership Obligations

Keep your personal information on your NEXUS profile current. For address and passport information updates, NEXUS members can access the Global Online Enrollment System (GOES). If you did not apply to NEXUS using GOES, you can create an account by visiting www.nexus.gc.ca. For all other changes to your personal information and status, or to add a new passport to your profile, please visit a NEXUS Enrolment Centre.

Report all goods you plan to bring into Canada or the U.S. Please note that all food, plants and related products must be declared at the border. For details visit: www.beaware.gc.ca/english/toce.shtml.

Also report amounts equal to or greater than CAN$10,000, or its equivalent in a foreign currency, that you are bringing into or taking out of Canada . For details see: http://cbsa.gc.ca/publications/pub/bsf5052-eng.html.

No non-NEXUS members in the NEXUS lane. If travelling with a non-NEXUS member, please use the regular lanes.

Failure to comply with program obligations may result in card revocation.

Did You Know?

If you have not done so, visit a NEXUS Enrolment Center today to have your irises scanned! This will allow you to use NEXUS self-serve kiosks for expedited entry into Canada or the U.S. at Canada ’s eight major international airports.

To further expand the use of your NEXUS membership, you are encouraged to have your fingerprints taken at a NEXUS Enrolment Centre. This will allow you to use U.S. Global Entry (GE) kiosks when flying to the United States from anywhere in the world. For more information on Global Entry please visit: www.globalentry.gov.

Third party service providers that offer application processing services may charge an additional processing fee which is not part of the official NEXUS application fee ($50 CAD or USD). Expedited services offered by such parties will not expedite your application process. We strongly encourage you to apply electronically through GOES or by paper available through the official NEXUS Web site: www.nexus.gc.ca.

As of June 1, 2012, personal exemptions for residents of Canada have been increased. Please visit http://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publicati...-eng.html#s2x8.

Got this newsletter this morning as well. Woohoo! Just called US Airways to add my Nexus ID to the known traveller field. Flying out of MSP on US on Friday so fingers crossed this works!

MSP to where? If it's back to Canada, international flights are not eligible for Pre-Check.

Uh, with 550+ posts and umpteen pages, it's not easy for anyone to keep on top of what has exactly been talked about in here.

Has this happened to you?

In YLW, last fight out, airport was a ghost town, no line anywhere, all of the screening people were just standing there waiting for something to do. Little old lady (70+) walks towards security, instead of zig-zagging trought the normal line, took the direct approach and used the straight nexus line. The security lady rejected her and made her walk back and zig zag through the mundane line (even though there was no line, they never took down the ropes). If there was a single person in line, I would have said that it is definitely appropriate. I saw all that as I walked towards security and I intentionally walk into the nexus line. The security lady challenged me and pronounced proudly "ARE YOU A NEXUS HOLDER", I looked around at the empty airport and said "yes, yes I am", in kind of a deflated voice she asked for my card. She examined it for like 5 minutes, seriously, it would have been faster if I had zig-zaged through at snails pace; either she has never seen a nexus card or she is trying find a flaw in it and make me walk back to zig-zag through the empty mundane line.

I am not saying that the security person's behaviour is inappropriate, it was just strange.

Applied: October 4
Conditional Approval: November 21

I live in Newfoundland, so getting an appointment that works will be a challenge. I nearly always transit YYZ when traveling trans-border, so hopefully an appointment will open up at an opportune time.

I live there as well but got an appointment in Halifax for the very next day. They are not as busy at that airport performing the NExus interviews as they are in the other canadian cities. If you can find a reason to go there i would and avoid the wait.

I challenge/invite you to show where TSA Pre-Check has been previously mentioned, even once, in this thread.

Altaflyer Nov 21, 2012 4:36 pm

So to use Pre-check as a nexus cardholder I need to register with the airline I am flying before I get to the airport? If so, where do I do this?

Thanks! I noticed that as well. I looked at reward options to YHZ, but the charges with Aeroplan don't make it worthwhile. I don't want to use my more valuable United miles for this either. Revenue tickets aren't cheap enough to justify it.

I may get to that point, but I'm holding out for YYZ for now.

To YYZ with a long-ish layover in YHZ?
