Canadian Progressives

Hi, my name is Jane. I love to travel south to the beautiful New York City. Where I live in Canada is so quit and green that sometimes I just want to escape to the big city. I like to travel with my car. There are some difficulties when I do that though. That’s the traffic on the border side. However, I found a quick and easy way to pass that test. A friend of mine suggested me to buy a Nexus Card. I have heard about it but I have never really gave it a thought.

There are time when we lose things. We lose money, keys, wallets and etc. We hate it, we are angry about it but at the end of the day we got to do what we got to do to handle things right. That’s the case with our friend Joe who lost his Nexus Card recently and he shared his experience with us.

“I am a Canadian and I work as an engineer for a building company. Therefore, I have to travel often to New York where is located our headquarter. I often go with my family car together with my family so we can spend time together. We have already used to ride on the Nexus Line and no waiting needed on the crossing border.

Till one day when I lost my wallet with all the document and unfortunately my nexus card. That was shocking news because we had already planned a family trip to US and now all was in vain. I had to request new passport, ids and new nexus pass. I was not familiar how to get nexus card replacement and I was worried that it will take me so much time as it took me when I was initially applying for nexus program but it was really easy process. All I had to do was to go to a website that offers that service for lost nexus card and apply again. The total cost was $50 and the process was very easy and quick. I did not expect that. Probably the most important of my documents was recovered faster than I expected. The company that I trusted for this process is called Global Trusted Traveler and they explained to me that it may take an interview again when I apply for nexus card replacement but it is not necessary every time but sometimes is requested. However, I was lucky this time and I had my nexus card replaced with new one week later in a white envelop sent from the government. The card had the same expiration date as the previous one and I think that the number of the card is now different. “

That was Joe experience of replacing his lost nexus card. If you have the same problem you can write us a comment and we will be happy to help you out.

 

 

It is easy to stay the same and not change anything but most of the times change is not just good but a must. What do I mean? Stefan is a Canadian citizen and he lives near Niagara Falls. He loves to spend time with his family and they often travel together. They love to visit USA because of its sights and entertainments. He has two children, the small one is 3 years old and the other is 10. Their children are big fans of Disney Land (are you kidding me, who’s not). So they go every month to the States with their family car to visit some of their favorite places. For a long time they did not realize that they spend a lot of time crossing the border. Sometimes that could be an hour, sometimes on holidays it could be 2-3 hours. The time spend waiting is precious for the family traveling experience and is not a necessary.

Till one day a border police suggested them to apply for nexus application for family. They have heart about Nexus program before but did not realize that this traveling program can improve their traveling experience. Moreover, they can save hours of their time and spend it in family activities. They can save over 100 hours of waiting a year and create so much family memories just by having a Nexus pass.

So they bought each member of their family a nexus card and for a small fee they improve so much their traveling/crossing the border experience that they said “We love Nexus program, it’s the best thing that happened to us for a long time.”

Be smart and open minded traveler. Seize those opportunities that can save you time. It can be just a traveling card or something else that can save you so much time and make you remember more family times than border crossing times.

Congratulations! You have made it through the first stage of the NEXUS Canada or U.S. program, now you are off to the second part of the application – the interview.

The interview for the NEXUS pass is important because it will confirm whether or not you will be a likely candidate. As intimidating or scary as an interview may sound, its important to not see it like that. Its important to not put too much pressure on this part of the application – rather you should see it as like when you are at border security and the guards are asking your questions.
