CBSA Reporting Huge Backlog for Nexus

Nearly 300-thousand applications to process

Looking to get your Nexus pass?  Be prepared to wait. 

The Canada Border Services Agency has a backlog of 295-thousand Nexus applications.

While there was a big drop in applicants during the pandemic, the C-B-S-A says the backlog is the result of ongoing pandemic-related office closures.

The U-S has re-opened its offices to process applications for the program that allows pre-approved travelers from both countries to pass through separate, speedy lines at the border.

But Canada and the U-S are in discussions about when to re-open Canadian enrolment centres.
