Online application (2023 Edition) and rules for the Nexus/Nexis Trusted Traveler /Frequent Traveler Canadian US Border Crossing Pass

Nexis Pass (a.k.a. Nexus Border Pass) in 2022

The Nexis Border Pass is a Trusted Traveler program operated jointly by the United States and Canadian border patrols. The Nexus Pass enables you to cross the US-Candain border more quickly than usual, based on your enrollment in the "trusted traveler program" administered by a collaboration between the US goverment (Homeland Security and Canadian Border Patrol (CBP)) and the Canadian government (Canadian Border Services Agency).

Due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns, and extreme differences between Canadian and American COVID restrictions, policies, and regulations, the rules for Canadian border crossing are more confusing than ever.

September 2022: Sumas, (WA) - "Still with the vaccine requirements, sigh. It's obvious that many people have figured out to to appear to fit into one of the many "special categories" that are permitted to enter Canada without proof of vaccines, while the honest people are prevented from entering."

August 2022: Osoyoos (Oroville, WA) - "ArriveCan system is not working properly. Again."

July 2022: The Truck Crossing (WA) - "crazy how the construction is STILL going on, even with all the free time they had with the border closed."

June 2022: Blaine (WA) Crossing - "It seems so unfair that Canadians are crossing constantly, but we Americans are still facing unreasonable restrictions, even with the Trusted Traveler card."
