We just took both passports (the old cancelled one and the new one) to the interview, absolutely no problem whatsoever.
BTW - thanks for this thread, reminded me to update my passport info on the GOES site as I just renewed it. |

Thanks. Should I bring their marriage cert as well just to prove they are married and thus no custody probs?
If you travel at least once a year I would do it for sure. You also get TSA Precheck in the US and priority border crossings. The only hurdle is getting to the interview centre, its kind of a PITA as for me its 2hrs drive away in Toronto. Nice to know they were lenient in letting you (non-NEXUS holders) through with the NEXUS holder. Maybe they'll let me through when I go with family this summer. Yellowknife is 1500 kms from Edmonton. |

Oh you precious snowflake a 2 hour drive for an appointment. Think of those who live in Newfoundland, New Brunswick and PEI who's nearest enrolment centre is Woodstock or Halifax. Regina & Saskatoon have a choice of Winnipeg, Edmonton or Calgary.

LOL - I don't really care about the drive. I can easily book a day off work once school is finished and go for the interview, no harm done. Others, not so easy. I was just pointing out to Snowy that may be the difficulty is all. And I doubt many people who live in the territories are travelling internationally very often. Its about supply/demand and they put the centres where there will be traffic and where people will *want* to apply for a Nexus card, and there isn't anything wrong with that.
I've come across a reasonable number of people from those parts and I bet they have clocked up way more airmiles than you!;) |
Re: NEXUS card
Most people I enrolled got the NEXUS card for domestic flights only to avoid the long CATSA line ups.

Re: NEXUS card
Honestly I think my reaction to the NEXUS programme is sort of like the reaction someone has who has been subjected to torture and is then released. :lol:
Yeah it's a bureaucratic pain in the ass but it's a pain at a time and place of your choosing. Whereas you've got little or no idea what's going on at the airport when you fly in or fly out (and certainly not when you book the flight). I went through Orlando in February, my God that is the worst line for TSA I have ever seen, I literally had to claw my way around the walls of the terminal to get to the pre-check line, I could barely breath. Just a mass of people standing next to each other waiting. It was such an overwhelming feeling of relief, I think I would have died of a heart attack if I'd had to stand in the regular line. |

It wouldn't be too bad for me as I live in Vancouver and there are a couple of places it could be.
I'd only be concerned as to whether I would be approved. I have no reason to think I wouldn't but why might someone not be? S |

Gozit: I think people from the territories can travel quite a lot. I was travelling with a colleague from the Yukon while we've been in Halifax these last few days and that person travels very frequently for work (far more than I do). S |

Bear in mind the criteria for criminal convictions is a very low bar, from the guff they sent me I got the impression that anything more serious than a speeding ticket would get you disqualified.

Apart from criminality or speeding tickets (!), what else could disqualify you do you think?

Re: NEXUS card
But if you've just led a normal life even if you weren't employed the whole 5 years (they ask for 5 year employment history), no seizures, criminality or speeding tickets, you should be okay?
I don't actually have a history of going to the US that much. Does that matter? I've filled in the online form and am just debating as to whether to pay the $50 and apply. S |

It doesn't matter how often or where you travel or even if you travel. If eligible pay the $50. One missed connecting flight would cost you more in anxiety and stress and perhaps money.

Re: NEXUS card
Snoop did all the donkey work, form filling etc so it was dead easy for me, just keep my nose clean and don't try and smuggle Wotsits and Quavers without declaring them. Nexus as others have said is a no brainer...get one:thumbup:
