Nexus is actually designed for US <-> Canada crossings and SENTRI is for US <-> Mexico, but both work for Global Entry. Nexus gets a little card (don't know if Global Entry gets one) that allow you to use the short lines at the Border crossing to/from Canada.
Best $50 I ever spent.
- Is that $50 forever?
- Would they have a problem with a pilot who lives near a NEXUS spot (such as that bridge office) who
never drives across the border ever, but would like to use NEXUS to expedite coming back in through Canada and also as a way to get into Global Entry at the same time?
