Do you travel to the USA often? We travel to the USA a few times a year and always use our NEXUS cards. They allow us to cross the border by land, sea, and air much more quickly. We also use the automated kiosks upon arrival to expedite our return to Canada.

Consider applying for a Nexus card if you plan to travel by land, sea or air to expedite border crossings to and from the USA.

We applied for our Nexus cards in 2019 because our travel credit card included a discount for the fee. We filled out the information, booked our face-to-face interviews at Toronto Pearson Airport, and received our cards in February 2020. Since then, we have enjoyed the short lines and easy entries!

There are a few steps to getting your first card, but updating and renewing is easy. For example, when my husband needed to update his passport credentials, we simply dropped by the Nexus office on our way to a flight to update his information. The Nexus card is good for five years, and we will definitely renew our Nexus cards.
