Is It Possible To Travel Domestically With My Nexus Card?

The NEXUS card is designed to speed up border crossings between Canada and the United States for low-risk, pre-approved travelers. It is jointly run by Canada and can be activated in your Trusted Traveler account. Upon arrival at a Canadian airport, follow the signs to the NEXUS kiosks.

NEXUS cards are accepted at U.S. and Canada land borders, Canada’s airports, and U.S. airports with Canada preclearance locations. Adult passengers 18 and older must show valid identification at the airport checkpoint to travel. Travel documents used to enter Canada include a passport, NEXUS card, United States Permanent Resident card, or Enhanced Driver’s License.

At 9 designated airports, you may use NEXUS kiosks and eGates. The biggest advantage of the Nexus pass is that it gets into the TSA Prescreened airport lines for almost all domestic travelers. A NEXUS card allows low-risk travellers to travel between Canada and the United States without a passport and expedites certain aspects of customs and immigration.

To activate your NEXUS card, sign into your Trusted Traveler account and navigate to the program membership section. The card works as a federal form of ID and is accepted at airports for domestic travel.

What is the downside of NEXUS?

The GOES NEXUS pass, a Canadian government-issued identification card, has been criticized for its potential disadvantages. It may be perceived as having too much personal information on file, including your address, employment history, immigration status, fingerprints, and iris scan, which is shared by both the Canadian and US governments. Additionally, the RFID tag embedded in the NEXUS card could potentially track your whereabouts.

If you break any immigration or customs laws, your GOES NEXUS pass will be revoked and you will not be able to apply for another trusted traveler program. The punishment for a trusted traveler NEXUS pass holder is harsher than if the same violation was committed by a non-NEXUS card holder.

The NEXUS pass only covers you, not your passengers, so if you want to cross the border with passengers, you must either cross in regular lanes or ensure they all have NEXUS cards. If you are not a Canadian or US citizen, you must keep your immigration status updated with the GOES NEXUS authorities.

Furthermore, the restrictions on goods that can be brought across into Canada and America without making a customs declaration may prove to be another disadvantage. However, the NEXUS pass offers many benefits for Canadian citizens or permanent residents who want to fast track border crossings between Canada and the United States, especially if you have no problem with the government holding personal data about you.

In summary, the NEXUS pass offers numerous benefits for Canadian citizens or permanent residents who want to fast track border crossings between Canada and the United States. It allows them to use the card as an air card when flying into Canada or the United States, and it also provides faster border crossing times and border inspection time.
