Re: NEXUS update
Well what a day. Left at 7am so we would be there for 12.45 apt. Office closed, no one around to ask. Go on line next apt July.
Get to Canadian border kiosk ‘do you have arrive can’? Whaaaat??? 14 days quarantine without it
The nice Imm Officer said park over there and download the app then take it into the Imm Office. We did this and were given the OK
GOXIT make sure you have the app. You also need to upload you vax passport and pcr test
Lots of people sat in their cars trying to get it sorted as they knew nothing about it

Let me know if you get anywhere calling CBP or CBSA.
Its good they were lenient re: arrivecan. I've heard of some being forced to quarantine not being given the option to turn around and go back. But yes it is needed for all entries land and air which is a little dumb IMO for a 1 day land crossing but what to do.
Did you guys have to get tested? I thought now there is no pcr test for less then 72 hrs trip.

Re: NEXUS update
Yikes. Thanks for the heads up. I'll be sure to call ahead to verify the office is indeed open. This is the email I got indicating US centres would be accepting appts as of the 29.

CP24 reported this morning that there are long lines at the Canadian borders, due to people not knowing about ArriveCan. We always use Whirlpool as it is NEXUS only and there is never a wait either way. Yesterday there was a long line coming back due to this.

Yes we got tested because we wanted to make doubly sure.

Re: NEXUS update
Aren't there online interviews? I'm sure the website says something about that

Re: NEXUS update
JG - did you ever get an answer as to why no one showed up for your scheduled appt, and did you get it rescheduled?

Re: NEXUS update
BTW - you are lucky they let you pull over and complete arrivecan. I was watching the news last night and there was an Ottawa group of friends who were having issues with the app not loading, figured they could get to the border and explain themselves, but instead were issued a quarantine order with no sympathy from the officer.

Re: NEXUS update
Yep, I keep checking for Zoom availabillity, but none are ever available. My theory on this is that some types of interviews are inelgible for an online one and they want you to appear in person. Mine and JG's must be marked as such.

Re: NEXUS update
How very odd. This morning I have received email approval of my renewal. Last week I wrote and complained about the non existent appointment I went for last week. I didn’t expect to get a reply. I suppose the renewal notification is the reply.
