Can we still cross the border normally while the Nexus application is in process? I really want to apply but I go to the US every couple months and not sure if I'd have to stay in Canada for the entire 6 months while it processes

My son’s card lapsed before we renewed. They renewed his the same as the rest of us. He had to come in for the interview like my other kids, but it was really only to update photos. We were in and out in no time at the interview which was really to confirm their ID and update photos.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You travel as normal until you get your card. Once you have the card you can choose to use it or not, nothing stopping you from travelling under your normal passport even once you have your card.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Not a renewal but a new sign-up. It's been "pending review" for 2 months now. When I signed up they had something saying due to Trump's government shutdown there was an enormous backlog, so I've just assumed it was that. My GF signed up a few days before me though and has an interview booked so it's definitely weird.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
All you guys stuck in the backlog are there for a reason - the Trump government knows you smelled weed that one time in your life!
This reminds me I should start my renewal lol

Security in Canada is different than immigration into the US. You can't use that line if you don't have a card. If CATSA makes an exception for flying domestic, it's no big deal as you go through the same security requirements here in Canada (laptop must come out and go in it's own bin).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

In the US, TSA Pre, which is trusted traveller allows you to leave all your shit (including you laptop) in your bag and just walk through the metal detector. I have not seen TSA agents allow not TSA Pre passengers through that line. They always get turned away.

I clearly said security and not immigration. My apologies if that wasn't clear.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

It was clear. Just explaining the differences so that someone reading all of this doesn't think they can go through a line that they really can't.
You can also go through that line if you have a RAIC.

questions during the application/interview process or through the airport?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
for the application process, when you schedule for an interview it basically means that you are approved and they will just do an iris and fingerprint scan.
through the airport, it's the typical custom form.
Unless your brother is a meth addict with rap sheet a mile long and uses your name as an alias. Then the interview becomes a bit more involved. Or so I've heard........................This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
My boss lost his Nexus for 7 years bringing his nanny (no nexus) through the customs line. He went through security with her as a guest, and security directed them to the nexus line. His first time using it too. I still make fun of him about it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Got my letter stating I should renew back in April, and I am still waiting. I think mine expires in July.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I read on the website that you can still use your card if it expires on the condition that you submitted your renewal prior to expiry.
Weird, your post made me look for where it says that and I couldn't find it. While I was on the website, I decided to log in to see if there was any progress on my renewal and it turns out I got renewed a couple days ago but they didn't even send me an email about it. Looks like I don't even have to go in for an interview. Just activate my card when it comes in the mail.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
So I applied for the renewal on March 15 and got approved May 29.
I basically never use my nexus at border crossings because of this. It’s hard to keep track of the many things you are not allowed to do, and they have zero tolerance. The rules are different depending which way you travel too. Only time I know it is safe is air travel when you have absolutely nothing to declare and no food.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I checked again today and I'm still "pending review". It's been months now. Still getting the notice about Trump's shutdown delaying things.
Mine's been "Pending Review" since February - is there any way to check the reason for the hold up? I am sure something is wrong at this point.
My GF applied a couple days before I did and she already has her card. It came less than a week after the interviews.
I have pending review as well but its only been a few weeks. I will update if that changes.
Just go to the office at the Airport. No one is ever there, they can help you out.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Mine has changed to pending interview FYI.
