My son was getting these sites so ask the pros and I get the answers. Thanks all.Just as an FYI - some 3rd party sites look quite official so if the fee is more than $50 us you’re on the wrong site.
Yes! I ended up clicking on a few of those sites before I found the official one. No reason to pay a 3rd party, the application is pretty straight forward. Probably more difficult for someone that moves a lot and has had multiple employers in the past 5 yrs.Just as an FYI - some 3rd party sites look quite official so if the fee is more than $50 us you’re on the wrong site.
So happy, finally got my Nexus approval. Had the interviews today at the airport. Doing the happy dance. I sent in my application in May, it’s taken awhile!
Using it for the first time in 2 days driving across the Washington border for flight out of Seattle!Congratulations! My husband and daughter's application were approved within 2 weeks, it took another 3 months to have mine approved. Nexus has been life changing! I asked myself why we didn't do it earlier!
That's what we did at YYZ. Bonus - it skips having to take the kids photos, so no frustrating times trying to get my younger one's eyes to line up with the iris scan.We have never been so glad to have Nexus (and thus TSA PreCheck) as we were Sunday night. Security line at MCO was huge, and the signs said 95-99 minute wait. Only half a dozen people ahead of us in the PreCheck line.
Still only two working Nexus terminals at Pearson T3, however. We gave up waiting and used our passports on the regular machines in the Nexus lane, and Customs didn’t even bat an eye over it.
In MCO it is called "TSA Pre Chek". You must enter your Nexus # online when you checkin. (If in fact you checkin online) It will give you a much quicker lane to clear security.Hey,
I am really new to this Nexus stuff, so I wanted to confirm... Can I use Nexus in YYZ and MCO? I always travel from Pearson and I have seen the Nexus lane there but I don't remember seeing any Nexus lane in the Orlando airport.
Thanks!

My first time using Nexus crossing land border from BC to Washington to catch flight from SeaTac was disappointing. Nexus line was way longer than regular one.
Going in a few weeks to Mexico. I know I can use it here going thru YVR, but can I use it in Mexico coming home?
I am looking to apply for my two daughters, ages 4 and 6. Am I correct that I have to create their own log ins to apply ? Do they need their own email addresses ?
Ah, I go thru the Truck Crossing. Maybe I’ll try Peace Arch next time.That's disappointing that the Nexus line was way longer! We go through Peace Arch often and have never found the Nexus lane to be longer than the regular lane, except that the regular lanes have a stop light so they can turn off their engines.
AFAIK Nexus in Mexico is only available in vehicle lanes to get into the US - I don't think it's available in their airport security.
Everyone has to have their own email address now, but my 'hack' is that I use a gmail address (which I do anyway) - gmail doesn't distinguish between these email addresses:
- your.name
- yourname
- y.ourname
- you.rname
even though to the outside world those are 4 different email handles, all email sent to those addresses will come to the main gmail address. So I just use mine, with dots in different places for each family member.
