Cross often? Make it simple, use NEXUS

Important update: The NEXUS Marine pilot project will operate during the 2006 boating season (May to October) in the St. Clair/Lake Erie area. Applications are currently being accepted. Please note that docking privileges for NEXUS Marine participants have changed.

NEXUS

NEXUS is a joint customs and immigration family of programs for frequent travellers that both the Canadian and American governments have implemented. The NEXUS programs are designed to simplify border crossings for pre-approved, low-risk travellers.

The NEXUS family consists of NEXUS Highway, NEXUS Marine, and NEXUS Air.

Once approved by both Canada and the United States as low-risk travellers, NEXUS members will enjoy a simplified entry process while travelling across the Canada-United States border by motor vehicle, recreational boat or aircraft.

The NEXUS programs allow Canadian and United States customs and immigration authorities to concentrate their efforts on potentially high-risk travellers and goods, thereby upholding security and protection standards at the border. All NEXUS members remain subject to examination at any time when entering either Canada or the United States.

For more information about the NEXUS programs, call toll-free 1-866-NEXUS 26 (1-866-639-8726).
