Hi all
Is anyone on here signed up with NEXUS, so they can clear customs faster? Some of my husband's family now lives in the states, so we are trying to travel more often to visit them. I wasn't sure if NEXUS is only for very frequent travelers, or business people....I read the info on the government website, which seemed to indicate almost anyone could sign up, which makes me wonder if a lot of people use it.

Yes, I do. I work in the U.S. but it is for any frequent traveller. You can download the forms from the website and send them in (in Ontario it's somewhere in Niagra Falls...it's all in the website). It costs $50 (now down from $80 due to the exchange). Once they recieve your forms you will receive something by mail, then you will have to visit a nexus office and be finger printed and photographed and your I.D. checked. They do a quick background check to make sure you are a "low risk traveller". Then your card will be issued. Just remember there are hours that you can use it (check your border crossing) and everyone in the car must have one if you are using the lane. Otherwise makes crossing at busy times much easier. It can also be used in lieu of a passport if you don't have plans to travel by air. So you shouldn't need both unless you are flying somewhere. Hope this helps!:santa:
 
We use it to go into Canada to visit family and your right anyone can get it.

The wait is long to receive your card. Ours expired and we had to reapply, I applied, online, October 1 received notification of conditional approval 6 weeks later and the first appt. I could get for the interview was the end of February.

Even using the Nexus lanes our passports have been checked each time and they are not even required as of yet. Also, be sure to check your exemptions carefully because you can not have more then your allowance or you will get in trouble.
