Being a NEXUS member is one of the best examples (among the many examples) of how there are such simple pro tips that almost all people unfortunately don’t even know about. You can avoid all wait lines so easily.
So I’m sharing another update on the NEXUS program as promised, with some reminders.
Well since then, as we asked you, many of you have written to confirm that she wasn’t the only one with such a quick approval process in 2023.
That obviously doesn’t mean it’s going to be that quick for everyone, but it clearly seems like a great time to apply if you haven’t done so yet!
It’s so great to pass ahead of everyone in airports!
Don’t forget that several credit cards pay for your NEXUS membership for free, in addition to giving you hundreds of dollars in free travel as a welcome bonus too. You have to pay for NEXUS with the credit card in question to get NEXUS for free, so you have to start with that!

Our monthly live video to present the best travel rewards deals of the month (with a live Q&A) will be Wednesday, March 15th, at 9 PM Eastern on Instagram.
In the meantime, the TD Aeroplan Visa Infinite Card has the highest welcome bonus of all credit cards in Canada right now, so you can’t really go wrong. That said, those rewards are slightly more complicated (and therefore more valuable).
In our articles, to keep them shorter, we always put a link with more info on every topic (like a link to part 1 of our guide to the NEXUS program in the article about getting NEXUS in 2 days).
But many don’t read carefully enough to see the links and ask questions that are answered in the more detailed article.
We happen to have this new little box to make the links even harder to miss.
To read all the details of a recent NEXUS interview experience, Kevin, Flytrippers’ other co-founder, just did it in December and will do a detailed article about that very soon. I did my renewal in January, I’ll share that with you too, for those who have already had it for 5 years or who wonder what it will be like in 5 years.
You can subscribe to our free newsletter to receive our content and never miss out on tips and deals.
Part 2 of our guide is another content piece coming soon, and it will contain the very detailed logistics of how to use each component of the NEXUS program.
In the meantime, I have already shared my most recent experience with 4 of the 5 NEXUS benefits in a recent article on the upcoming reopening of NEXUS interview centers in Canada.

Summary
We’ll have more content on the NEXUS program very soon, but I wanted to at least follow up regarding the testimonials we’ve received about the current exceedingly short time frame to get NEXUS, and remind you of the basics if you missed it.

Yes, that’s what we’re saying. To the surprise of absolutely no one who has ever followed anything managed by the government, they can’t even do something as simple as process applications in the order they received them. So some people have been waiting for over a year, yet some who apply now get approved in 2 days sadly.
hello, I applied for Nexus last year and my application is still showing pending. This this was a renewal even I had my Nexus expire recently is there anything that I could do would it be worth calling them to see if there’s an issue? I’m a Canadian resident if that changes anything
Hi, mine expired in December and I got my renewal approved in January so maybe they process renewals in the month following expiry, but this is just speculation as they don’t provide any information about the process at all unfortunately. If it just expired (you can still use your card by the way) I would wait a bit.
I applied sometime in July of 2021. It still shows pending.
I thought they were behind by 100s of thousands?
I’m in Vancouver.
