Do babies/infants applying for Nexus get their fingerprint taken for use at the Gobal Entry US clearance machines in airports ? If not, what's the process of using the Nexus privileges for US immigration clearance at airports ?

Also, as a program aimed at frequent travelers, it shouldn't be an issue for the majority of true frequent travelers to find themselves at a port of entry. NEXUS offices are available at the eight busiest Canadian airports, which process the vast majority of intercontinental and ex-USA arrivals. The 9th busiest airport in Canada is YTZ, easy enough to get to YYZ. The 10th busiest is YYJ (Victoria, BC), which has just under 2M passengers a year total, most of which are flying in from elsewhere in Canada, from airports with NEXUS services. By comparison, YYZ had over eight times as many international passengers excluding USA, and six times as many passengers to/from USA as YYJ had total passengers. NEXUS is also present at the busiest land crossings. NEXUS is not aimed at, nor intended for, every single person who might cross the US/Canadian border. I have it despite living over 1000 miles from the border, as I have been to Canada roughly once a year since 2012; I would bet the number of NEXUS cardholders living here in Austin, a city of over 900,000 people with a daily nonstop to YYZ, is <1000, maybe even less than 500 or even less than 100.

If I drive across the border to Canada and buy an epi-pen, do I have to declare it when I return back to US? I have Nexus. Am I even allowed to bring it back to the US? I won't have a prescription for it since prescriptions aren't required in Canada for epipens.

Walmarts/Pharmacies in Canada accept prescriptions from US doctors? I figured there would be tons of rules and regulations prohibiting that. I know I asked Walmart in the US if they would take a foreign prescription and they said it has to be from a US doctor.

Another nice thing about Canadian pharmacies is that if your prescription is, for example, for 30 days with 6 refills you can get all 180 pills at once.

You may ask why does the enrollment center continue to insist they don't get online updates (and thus update in person required) despite website indicating otherwise? I believe they are telling the truth in that they are not getting updates but misinformed about needing to update in person. Last year I included, in this thread, publicly available CBSA procedures for PoE examinations and those document indicate that primary inspection and secondary inspection officers have different level of access to IT systems. Privacy best practice recommends the access be given only to information that is required for the task. With that in mind, I believe that enrollment center have access to NEXUS application details but not subsequent updates because they don't need those passport detail updates for their job of assessing initial/renew NEXUS applications. CBSA agents in enrollment center are correct in saying they don't get online passport updates because they don't have for a need for it.
