What is the downside of NEXUS?

The NEXUS pass only covers you, not your passengers. That means if you want to cross the border with passengers, you either need to cross in the regular lanes or make sure they all have NEXUS cards.


Is NEXUS worth the money?

The Nexus card is a great option for people who travel frequently between the U.S. and Canada. In addition to offering the same benefits as Global Entry, the Nexus card is less expensive and can be used for both air and vehicle travel between the two countries.


How much does NEXUS cost?

It is jointly run by the Canada Border Services Agency and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Applicants must create an account in the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Trusted Traveller Program System to proceed. NEXUS memberships are valid for 5 years. There is a $50 (USD) non-refundable application processing fee.
