I was there earlier today with my wife, son and myself. We arrived 20 minutes early just in case. We first checked in with the lady outside (beside the interview area), and I guess they check you off that you are here.

Then we waited right outside the area for about 10-15 minutes, and it wasn't even busy. They called us in individually and then sat at a numbered desk. The first person was the US border, and he asked for ID. I gave him my bcdl, passport and birth certificate. Because my wife wasn't born here, they looked at her bcdl, Chinese passport and PR card. He will take a picture of you, and then get your finger prints. The guard will then ask general questions such as: why am I applying for nexus card, have you had criminal record, have you ever been denied access into the country etc... Once he's asked the questions, you read a piece of paper with nexus rules on it, and you can also ask any other questions as well. Once you read and understand you have to sign it, and then wait for the Canadian guards turn.

It's the same procedure, the Canadian guard will asking same questions as the us guard. After that you will then sign the same piece of paper but on the right hand side.

Lastly, you wait for last part of the interview, the retina scan/check. You look at a machine, and it does multiple scans on your eyes. Once they save it you are done. They also give you a general brochure. They tell you the nexus card will come in the mail by x weeks...
