What is the Nexus Pass?

NEXUS is a border crossing card for expedited US Canada Border Crossing. The card provides expedited travel at the US Canada Border for predetermined low-risk Canadian and US citizens. Members can use NEXUS as an air card when flying into the US or Canada. You can also use it at land and sea points of entry. Using the designated priority lane significantly speeds up the time spent waiting and being processed at the US Canada border.

NEXUS Program Benefits

There are significant benefits to NEXUS membership. Most importantly, the time spent in line at the US-Canada border particularly at peak times makes membership essential for anyone who crosses the border. Some of the program benefits are as follows:

• Faster border crossing times even at peak periods.
• Dedicated lanes to expedite travel and save long queue times.
• Faster border inspection time. Customs and Border Patrol estimate that it takes members 10 seconds at the border guard’s inspection booth.
• TSA PreCheck membership (expedited security on departure at US airports) is included.
• Fewer questions by border agents.
• Less stress when traveling with children.
