r/NEXUS_TTP

Good day. 61M here. Semi frequent crossers by car into the usa either at new York or Vermont. Nexus holders. Never had an issue. However, when the american agent asks us, anything to declare? Is he/she asking for an itemized list of what we are carrying for our weekend? Like clothing? Meds? We drive an antique car, my tool box? I usually tell them nothing to declare, as we have no food, no booze, no gifts, no tobacco of any kind..usually just a couple of bottles of water.

Thanks for any input.

If I as an Indian citizen with a valid B2 visa fly into the port of entry L,K,E in the Washington state. If I will be denied entry. Is there a holding facility or something or is the only option arrest? since this is a smaller port please only answer relavent to L,K,E port of entry L.A.K.E U.N,I,O.N Seattle from my understanding if commercial means are available the CBP could put a traveler right back on the plane back to CAN but this port has only 2 flights per day.

The airline only provides for passport information not nexus on the flight booking so my question is can nexus be used when arriving at the port

Evening! I was driving back into Canada this evening, I had items to declare, scanned my nexus on the reader (in the regular line) the officer hit me with the wave to go on, and said “you’re all good, have a good night” I tried to mention I had items to declare and he interrupted me and said “long line, busy day, keep it moving” - I’m assuming this means I’m… good? Like did I do enough to have attempted to declare?

Happy to answer any questions!

I’ll share my timeline maybe it’ll help people. I applied for myself and my son since we travel up to Canada a lot. Application was sent on January 14th 2026 for both him and myself. My son and I had different conditional approval dates but not by much. I was able to secure a date in June for my son since he got his conditional first. Then my conditional came through and I saw dates in May. I checked every day twice a day to see if I can get two interview slots on the same day. I finally saw two open slots for May 12th and quickly snatched them up. It was perfect as we had to go up to Canada for that weekend and we can just go to our interview on the way back home from Canada. We got to the Blaine office about 15 minutes early, the front desk lady checks us in. We get called for our interview, CBP Officer asks to verify my son’s full name and DOB. He then asks me the same for myself, takes a photo of us one at a time and I do fingerprints. Then CBSA Officer tells me take a picture of the Canadian rules, explains where to go when entering Canada. And sends us on our way. My son’s portal changes to approved immediately, mine changes to approved about an hour after. I looked on here enough to gauge delivery times of at least 10-14 days minimum until card is delivered. I was ready to wait but said it would be nice to have before my trip back to Canada on the 17th. So it was to my delighted surprise to see on USPS Informed Delivery a letter coming from DC for May 16th and said this can’t be it. I got the mail in the afternoon and there were actually two letters from DC. Opened them both and was very shocked at how fast the cards were delivered for my son and I. From reading posts on here most cards get delivered 2 weeks or longer from approval; and cards for more than one person never get delivered at the same time.

I’m sure everyone’s experience is different but I hope this helps someone gauge the timeline for approval. I know reading posts like this on here helped me a little. Not only to gauge the timeline for approval but also to set expectations or I should say lower some expectations.

I have GE but realized one of my credit cards has an unused TTP credit that I figured I could use to transition to NEXUS. My question: is this worth the hassle?

I only just recently came back from my first trip to Canada, and as far as I understand, this would only help me when entering Canada. How much of a benefit is this exactly? I entered by sea, so unfortunately, I wasn't able to experience that part of the airport customs process

I figure that I'll have a good amount of time to finish the NEXUS interview process so I could just do it during my next natural trip to Canada without it being any "extra" effort.

If I'm mistaken about something or if there's a reason I didn't consider that would make this process not worth the effort, please let me know!

Info: I live in California, not near any of the border interview sites so everything would be done at the airport(s)

Canadian Citizen first time applicant for nexus

Initial Enrolment: Feb 5, 2026

Conditionally Approved: May 7, 2026

Interview: May 11, 2026

Approval: May 11, 2026 - I received an email shortly after crossing back to Canada same day

Card delivery: pending

Application process and interview were fairly straight forward. One hiccup was I got pulled into secondary crossing peace arch. Officer seemed to be suspicious that I haven’t used the land border crossing for about 10 years. I was 30 mins late for my Nexus interview due to that, but pleading with the front desk lady (shout out to her she’s the MVP) she was able to talk to the officers and they still went through my interview.

I am currently living in Europe and I have both a British and Canadian Passport with NEXUS.

I am planning to travel to the US next month and I am wondering if I can travel to the US with my UK Passport + NEXUS card and leave my Canadian one at home? Will there be any issues travelling with a British Passport + NEXUS card or do I have to travel with my Canadian?

I travel pretty frequently for work and I recently got a new TN visa. I added it to my nexus after getting approval at an airport.

Today I drove through Blaine and randomly got flagged and sent to secondary. The agent just asked me if this is a new car. I said no, because I imported my car to BC and now I have a BC license plate. In the secondary they checked my car insurance paper and registration. Ofc car also got searched but obviously I had no nothing in there cuz I was just commuting for work.

I’m curious why new licence plate is an automatic flag to the secondary? Or is it the new TN? (That I already entered the US once but it was at an airport)

Appreciate any insights!

I got a question, I got conditionally approved for Nexus and needs to do an interview. I'm flying out from Toronto Pearson to Newark tomorrow but the flight departs at 8am so I don't think I can make CBP interview at Pearson. Can I land at Newark then do the interview at Newark instead of Pearson?

Howdy Nexus Sub,

Dealing with an odd predicament that I'm hoping someone can chime in on.

Applied a few weeks ago for a renewal on my nexus, and a few days ago I received an update that the current nexus was revoked (renewal application still says pending).

I called CBP on the US side and they said the only information they could see was "court action".
I had explained to the officer on the phone that I was charged last year after a misunderstanding, and the charges were quickly fully and unconditionally withdrawn after they realized they had the wrong person.

The officer asked if I had the court records showing they were fully withdrawn by the crown, which I absolutely do (along with a VSC showing nothing; the officer continued to say with the information, to appeal it through your account online and it shouldn't take very long. Continued to ask if I should take this information to the local nexus enrolment center in the states, and he said he wasn't sure.

The Issue:

On the TT portal, there is no button to appeal this or anything I can click to appeal (the nexus renewal is still pending, just the current nexus has been revoked). Given this, I have no idea how to appeal this, as the email floating around online appears to be no longer active.

If you've had any experience going into a renewal center / CBP and asking for a supervisor (or dealt with a missing button/UI issue), I'd really appreciate any insight. I've crossed on a semi-weekly basis from Niagara to Windsor for the past 15 years, and never had a single issue. I'm also concerned about now having issues whether or not this is appealed.

Thank you in advance!
