To be eligible for the NEXUS, you must be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada or the United States.

Re: crossing the us. border
Well you can if you're a PR, but you still have to do OBIM and you still need to do ESTA if travelling by air. All it means is you go through the NEXUS line and then the CBP inspector has to be prodded awake and blows the dust off the fingerprint machine. It's faster entering Canada but not necessarily when entering the US.
