Nov. 30/07: NEXUS is doing a technology upgrade and will
be sending EVERY NEXUS holder a new card in
the mail. In order to receive your new card, you must make sure that NEXUS
has the correct address on file. You can do this by following the attached
directions.
Also, we are reminding NEXUS holders to begin the renewal
process 90 days before their five year passes
expire by submitting a new application. This can be done
by following the attached directions. The old cards did not
have expiry dates but we have been told by CBP that the process is now to alert
NEXUS users at the booth as to the expiry date when a card is due to expire
within 90 days.

“We are pleased to provide
our industry stakeholders with the latest update on the NEXUS Marine program –
one of the three components in the harmonized NEXUS trust traveller program.
This latest announcement demonstrates the ongoing
efforts of CBSA and CBP to improve this existing program to serve the evolving
needs of cross-border travellers.
The Binational Tourism Alliance continues to support
the NEXUS program as one of the key solutions to the WHTI legislation.
We are still waiting on issuance of the WHTI Land and
Marine rules from Department of Homeland Security, as well as working out the
details of our proposed NEXUS Incentive Promotion and Pilot Program with our
colleagues in CBSA and CBP, and will continue to update our tourism industry and
community stakeholders with information as this becomes available.
