You must first apply for the NEXUS program through the DHS Trusted Traveler Programs website. You will be asked to pay a $50 fee for a 5 year membership. You will also have to fill out questions regarding your background.
Note: NEXUS is a joint program between the U.S. and Canadian governments designed for travelers who frequently cross the U.S.-Canadian border.

The conditional approval process can take anywhere from 24 hours to multiple months, depending on the volume of applications, your background, etc.
