The Nexus program allows U.S. citizens, U.S. lawful permanent residents, Canadian citizens, Canadian lawful permanent residents, and Mexican nationals who are members of Mexico’s trusted traveler program, Viajero Confiable, to significantly reduce airport wait times. In the U.S., members of this program can utilize Global Entry kiosks when entering U.S. airports, use dedicated processing lanes at land border crossings, and use NEXUS kiosks when entering Canada. In order to be eligible for the program, these travelers must be pre-screened and pre-approved by both the U.S. and Canada.
