Niagara Falls EC

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.

After your application has been submitted, you will have to wait for conditional approval. Conditional approval means that you have been pre approved for the NEXUS program, but you need to schedule an interview to finalize your application.

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

Congratulations! You've been conditionally approved for NEXUS. The next step is to schedule your interview at Niagara Falls EC.
