Isn't changing this info on the GOES site good enough? You can change your address and passport number there.... I've done both without problems... |

Anyone know anything about going down and picking up stuff that is a gift for people? I know youre not suppose to use your Nexus to go down and pick up stuff for people, but I wanna buy my gf a gift and ship it down there. But when i come back, CBSA will ask me what I brought back and im like a womens jacket, would they be like wtf? Anyone have any experience? Is it all that matters is that my name is on the receiving label on the package? |
If it's your name on the invoice, and your name on the shipping materials, I don't see what the issue is. CBSA doesn't care what the clothes you buy is for, as long as you within your spending limit and you're not reselling it. If the gift is expensive, you'll likely just have to worry about being taxed. |
^ Ditto regarding the invoice and shipping name.... Shouldn't matter what it is, even if the item was purchased to be gifted. At the point and time that you pickup the item, you are a Canadian importing personal goods into the country. It's your property, there should be no hassle.... Different case if a visitor to the country was bringing a gift with them into Canada. Also if do some reason a different persons name is in the invoice then you can use the regular lanes with your Nexus card. I've done so a few times when picking up goods for others. |
I always bring an invoice with me (paper or email) and have it ready to present when I pull up to the window. They usually just ask you if you're bringing anything back, what it is, and the value of it. Your odds of getting taxed are dependent on the $ amount and mood of the officer. Just don't act shady and you'll be fine. |
Just a warning for you guys Make sure you tell the CBSA officer that your bring back a gift for someone or you're picking up your OWN parcels. NEVER EVER say you're picking up a parcel on someone's behalf or the parcel belongs to someone else, when you're using the NEXUS lane. A friend got written up for picking up my parcel for me at Point Roberts, one more strike, his nexus card gets revoked. So be very careful with your wording |

Just getting back to the question by wingies. I'm not saying that you (shenmecar) is saying that gifts == goods that don't belong to you. |

Just make sure you're the one paying for the goods, not someone else and they ships to your address in PR and you pick it up as a "gift". |
so once you get your nexus card, and your passport expires afterwards, do you need to update immediately? my friend asked that before and the cbsa agent said not necessary after you get your nexus card but if you're applying for nexus then you need to have it up-to-date. apologies if this has already been asked/answered. |
It doesn't have to be done immediately, but asap is in your best interest to avoid any potential issues. It's assumed that you update your information as it changes, so you can't really plead ignorance with them if they grill you. |

They still rely on iris scans. It's too bad they don't have the ones in the US which just read your fingerprints. That said, new machines are always welcome as long as they work better than the old. |

Sorry for the noob question, but first time attending the interview. Blaine Enrollment Center. So where exactly do I park? It shows the address of 9901 Pacific Highway Vehicle. So do I cross the border as usual first, and make a immediate right turn? |
yup, there will be signs. you can ask the border officer as well. |
. |
I applied for my wife and myself, we mailed in our applications. They've taken the money off my credit card but I haven't heard anything back. Do they typically send you something in the mail telling you to set up an interview? |
