How's the border northbound on Easter Monday afternoon/evenings?
I know most people should have work...but I believe kids/school are off, and there might be families that take extended long weekend trips?

Just depends on when you come back.
If you come back at a different time like 8pm, the wait should be minimal. Nexus is never that long anyways.

I recently completed my 6 month daughter application and it was conditionally approved in like 3 weeks. I just booked an interview in the Blaine office for Thursday Apr 30 (4 business days later).
I checked the YVR location and the next appointment isn't until May 20 or something...
So many more openings in Blaine.

Applied some time in January, completed the interview late April and got my card two weeks after that. First time crossing the border yesterday to pick up parcels, was in and out within 10 minutes.

Anyone renew recently?
I'm currently out of the country...do you need to get an interview? NEXUS - Membership renewals - this says no interview needed but on the GOES website there seems to be a requirement for interview.

I think the interview is random. My wife just renewed and she need to book an interview. My coworker and his wife renewed last year and he didn't have one but his wife did.

just booked my interview for end of the month at the airport. A lot of openings in blaine though. Anyone know if the blaine location and the main street location allow you to do the iris scan? I read somewhere that not all enrolment locations have the iris thing

Do you have to go to a NEXUS enrollment center to update your job info?

I sent in my application a while ago and noticed that they recently charged my CC. Should I be expecting an email or a call to set up my interview soon? Or is it still going to take a long time?

Just a quick question if I am flying elsewhere (IE Japan, France) can I use my Nexus pass at the boarder to pass through customs (Nexus lines seems a lot shorter than the regular one). And when i come back (from another country) is there a Nexus line as well?

You are most likely not going to get an email, you just need to check the goes website

Did you use your passport as supporting documentation to apply for your Nexus? If so, I would imagine an expired passport would make your Nexus card invalid. You would have to go into GOES to update your supporting documents.

On the basis of technicality, your NEXUS membership is invalid if and when your passport has expired.
Going into the US and re-entering Canada with an expired passport when using your NEXUS will have its risks, so bear that in mind.

On a different note, when I first applied for my Nexus, I didn't even have a current passport. During the application process, the US Customs dude just made a comment along the lines of "that's gonna make things interesting..." and everything still proceeded fine. I just couldn't do a retina scan since that part was associated with the passport.
For the next 2 - 3 years, I only had a valid Nexus pass, but continued without a passport. I never had a single problem with the land crossings into and back from the US.

^^my passport just expired and I was at the passport office, adn they told me that your nexus is still valid by land travel, But you cannot fly with your nexus if your passport is expried, also you must update your passport on the GOES website when you get your new one.

Great thanks for all the replies.
Can I also use nexus at non-nexus lane? Since the other passengers on the car don't have it.
