Well today is the last step in getting my NEXUS card which allows for expedited border crossing by air, land or sea. We filed our applications back in March and after we received initial approval on our applications we were able to schedule our interviews for June 2nd and 3rd which were the earliest dates. The biggest advantage for us is when entering Canada or the USA by boat we do not have to visit a designated port to clear in (we clear in by phone and if the border services folks would like to meet they will be at the port that we are entering, on a sailboat this saves a bit of time not having to go out of your way just to clear customs). So today is the final hurdle where they will review all of my documents (pass port, drivers license, car registration and title, boat registration and title, proof of address "power bill") followed by an interview with homeland security and then repeated by CBSA and finally if everything goes well a retina scan, which is voluntary and only required for air travel. This sounds like a lot but the application was straight forward and from what I understand the interview which is done at the airport only takes about 30 minutes. Wish me luck:)
