Story summary

Canada’s CBSA and U.S. CBP will reduce the NEXUS interview window to two years beginning April 1 2027.
Applicants approved before that date keep a five-year window or must interview by April 1 2029, whichever comes first.
The five-year window was a temporary measure to clear COVID-19 pandemic backlogs.
CBSA warns applications expire if interview timelines are not met.
