NEXUS Card???
 

Anyone from Ontario have one? I was thinking of getting one since I boat most of the time in the St Lawrence River and enjoy hitting the US side for Lunch/sightseeing and stuff like that. I really dont want to carry my passport with me all the time in the boat, so, thought I would get a Nexus card, but, wanted to get some input from others who have gotten one, especially since THEY AIN'T CHEAP!

Thanks!

My wife and I have one. We drive to Windsor once in a while, and boat fairly frequently on the Canadian side. It's convenient. The only drawback is everyone on your boat is supposed to have one, and if they don't, getting stopped or inspected is still possible. I think it's good for 5 years. I use it, and have found it useful

I use an I68 and have no trouble. Other than they are only good for a year. If you have any kind of a past you may have trouble getting a nexus , as in a DUI or any other silly thing from your younger day's. :eek:

Hi Jeff and Stevewy!

I usually get an I-68 Permit but am going to get the NEXUS Card this year. Hope to see you guys this summer for the Motor City Can-Am Fun Run.

its worth the $58!!! I68's are $17 are only good for 1 year,plus the toll for the border..$8..... so if u add up the total costs for the 5 years it equals out to be...125US not including gas.... a nexus is $58.... not to mention every customs officer hates to do I68's... jm2c

I must be doing something wrong? The website I went to said it was about $150 for a Nexus card? Where did you get yours? the cost was one of the things that was holding me back, Thanks!

Michael

i applied online, then picked a day for my appointment, went in an had the 15min interview......You can also print the form off the webpage then mail it in if you dont like doing it online...$50....got it in 10 days or so..

Can you forward me the link? I would greatly appreciate it! The link I looked at was gonna cost $150, so, would like to see the one you used, THANKS!

Michael

the 150$ is a fee that it will cost you if that website you were on does the app. for you if you do it yourself there is a web for that it's only 58

PLEASE forward me the $58 link, I would REALLY appreciate it!

From what I saw on the NEXUS web-site, the cost for a NEXUS Card was $50.00 CDN and $50.00 U.S..

Check out this web-site www.nexus.gc.ca

Thanks AB! I appreciate it!

No problem, my pleasure to help if I can.

Got my nexus last year
 

Was one of the first few to have it up on the St. Lawrence as some of the border patrol guys hadn't seen the cards yet when I first used it. It is definately worth the $58! Being able to check in via cell phone is great. Let me know if you have any questions.

THANKS! Thats where I boat 99% of the time, its only a short run from my cottage [Wolfe Island] to some really cool spots on the US side. And I think the NEXUS card would make things SO much easier, plus, I DONT like the idea of carrying my passport in the boat with me.

Hope to see you on the water this year, where do you usually boat?

Thanks!
Michael
