I don't think that an expired driver's license would matter at all if traveling by air. I can only see it mattering if that person was crossing by land and actually driving the vehicle. Even then, I wouldn't worry too much about it. But do stop by a NEXUS enrollment centre and update it when you get the chance.

Agreed. I certainly wouldn't go out of your way to update it (especially if you've already updated it online). They don't really care about the DL anyway, its more of a holdover form the program years ago.

I don't think the Canadian side cares about the DL at all. When we were at the Detroit Enrollment Center to update our passports a couple weeks back, we overheard the guy in front of us talking to the US rep who saw the expired DL in his account that the Canadian girl didn't even take his DL. The US rep said to just update it on GOES. The US rep told my wife to update her DL information on GOES when she renews her DL in about a week.

To confirm, there is a way to get from the Detroit Enrollment Center back to the Canada, they just won't let you use it. When we pulled in to the area, there was an officer inside the gate taking names. We asked him if when we were done there was a way to continue on to Canada. He pointed to an area with a gate where we later saw a huge sign "Return to Canada", he said to pull up there and someone could come out and let us through. It just goes back out to the road you pull in off of when you enter the facility. We then asked the officer inside and he said they wouldn't let us through that gate. Well we decided to try anyway. There was a big truck pulled up to the gate beside the "Return to Canada" sign. After a few minutes a guy came out and let the truck through but told us we had to use the regular exit, which dumps you out on to surface streets in Detroit. Good thing for the GPS, as it got us to where we needed to go, but it killed about 10-15 minutes doing it.

Quick question about new documents updates at an enrolment centre: Does the member have to be there in person or can a spouse (also presenting new documents) update on the member's behalf?

I updated Mr. Fink's drivers license without him being present at the Nexus office at YVR in late June. The only requirement is that you have to present the original documents, not copies. I only had a photocopy of his drivers license as I was leaving on a trip and he needed it with him. They did it for me anyway but did make it clear that it was a one-off favor and, while the person didn't have to be there, original docs had to be presented.

It's been reported that you can fax them the originals. :rolleyes:

I see Macao but not Hong Kong as countries visited in the past 5 years. Do people typically just put China in place of Hong Kong?

Yeah thats what I put. I mean Hong Kong is technically in China :)

There are a few places missing, Gibraltar comes to mind (which while a British territory isn't part of the UK)

I followed some advice from a post many paged back about how to update documents by calling the Canadian Nexus office and getting a name and email to send scans of the documents to. I did do this, but still stopped in to update in person when we also had to update my wife's documents. The Canadian officer did not say anything to me about their system already having my updated passport information. So I don't know if it actually worked or not.

Just an FYI, if you sign up for a new citizenship and then get proof of a second citizenship (like a citizenship certificate from US USCIS or Canadian IRCC/CIC) they do expect you to present it for an in-person update, and then a second in-person update if you get a passport under that nationality.

Also an FYI, if you get citizenship by descent (first generation born outside Canada), when you get the certificate it will be backdated retroactive to your birthday as an "effective by" date with no certificate issue date. The US CBP officer put the date listed on the cover letter my certificate shipped with in his system, the CBSA officer put the issue date as my birthday. Both systems accepted it.

I asked if the fact that the issue date was different on the US side vs. CBSA side was an issue, both officers were confident it would not be as the US and Canadian sides of Nexus for this sort of things have entirely separate systems.

All,
I am permanent resident of Canada. I have applied for NEXUS. After 4 months, I got reply through GOES account that my NEXUS application has been denied due to " You do not meet program eligibility requirements". I have very clean record. I do not have any arrests or violation tickets in Canada.

Be reminded, I traveled to US in past on valid H1B visa and I was denied entry to US with the comments " Applicant is not possessing valid non-immigrant visa". and my visa was cancelled. However, I applied again for tourist visa and it had been approved and I traveled to US without any problem at port of entry.

Could you please guide me here. What could be the potential reason of this denial? Should I visit personally to Enrollment Center to meet with Supervisor ? What steps should I take ? I shall be very thankful to you all. Thanks

It looks like at one point you showed up at a POE with an incorrect visa type, which counts as an immigration violation, which in turn makes you ineligible for Nexus. If for whatever reason you can prove that you should have entered on the H1B instead of B1/B2 then you can appeal. Another reason for your denial might be being a citizen of a country covered by Trump's travel ban since you mentioned you were a permanent resident of Canada.

Thanks greglvnv for replying. My answer to your two points.
1- I attempted to enter into the United States with valid H1B visa and it was stamped on my passport. Actually my passport had two visas stamped when I attempted to enter H1B and B1/B2. I have valid job offer letter from US employer too but still I was denied entry. I was not at fault at all. For record cleaning, I filed FOIA to CBP and they replied and most of the parts the letter are empty and I was not able to see what actually was the reason. After all this mess, I again applied for B1/B2, I got it and I traveled to US last month without any problem.

2- My home country is not in that list of countries which banned by Trump Executive order.


Now the question is, how can I overcome this ? I just read few threads and concluded that I should visit Enrollment center with all the previous documents including my previous Visas, job offer letter etc to meet with Supervisor and ask him what are the actual grounds of rejection ?

What is your opinion about it ?
