That way they couldn't tie anything back to NEXUS.
If you're going to take the regular lane, and there's any risk of them revoking your NEXUS on a technicality, might as well just play it safe and not use your NEXUS at all.

Same thing with when picking stuff up for F&F. I sometimes pick up parcels for in-laws while I'm down there. And I just make sure I use the regular lane on my way back... always just with my Nexus card.

Have you told them it's for someone else and they still let you through?

I've always just bring the receipts that I get from Amazon, go to REGULAR lane and never had an issue.
They often ask why I wasn't using the Nexus lane, I just tell them that I was picking up all my family parcels from Amazon and they aren't technically all mine. Never have I been questioned beyond that point.
I guess if we want to generalize, I could say that they are all mine... but when I'm picking stuff like wife's undies and cosmetics... it's kinda hard to argue they are "mine".

Verified if tools are acceptable with NEXUS Enrollment Centre today.
They said that a small roadside repair/emergency kit is allowable. But don't exceed that. It was still pretty vague, but she said to keep it vehicle related. Before I replaced everything in my e46, I used to carry all 3 tool boxes.
The issue that the previous poster had was that they brought tools in the work truck. Anything business related can not be brought over (in the Nexus lane) including files, with the exception of a laptop.
My Nexus Interview was pretty quick, it was them briefing me on how the program works. But they didn't ask me why I wanted Nexus? Pretty basic verification questions. Am I not getting approved?

(I guess the assumption here is that it would be for family) I was far too honest and said no, but I'm guessing their reason for asking this question is that maybe it's permitted to bring back stuff for immediate family. Of course, I can't find any supporting CBSA documentation for this, so take this for what it's worth....

Had that done once and was held up; it wasn't until the truth was told that we were released and was sent back to Canada and banned form crossing that day.

I believe mines took a little bit over two months for the renewal process to be completed.
No interview required.

A colleague of mine renewed late June and received his NEXUS just now, so about 6 to 8 weeks turnaround time seems consistent.

STILL on Pending Review...approaching 3 months.
So the nexus website says I can still use my current card up to 6 months after expiry, if I have submitted an application before expiry.
Has anyone used this option? I don't want to be hassled by some agent who doesn't know the rules.

layover at LAX on a Saturday night
anyone used Nexus to get in/out of the city quicker by using Nexus?
I didn't put in my id number during booking, can I still use pre-check line? Quote: |
If you join Global Entry, NEXUS, or SENTRI, use your membership number as a “known traveler number” in airline reservations to receive TSA Pre✓

If you don't have PreCheck on your boarding pass, they won't let you go into the PreCheck line, even if you show your NEXUS.

Yay, finally approved.
Coincidence or not, it was approved on the day the old one expired lol. So I guess I use my old card until the new one comes?
