Entering Canada

  • Use the dedicated NEXUS lane and stop and hold your membership card in front of the card reader.
  • Proceed to the inspection booth for a visual inspection. The CBSA officer will indicate whether you are to enter the inspection area or proceed into Canada.

Declaring Goods

Canadian resident

If you are a Canadian resident entering Canada and you are importing goods for your own personal use, you must complete a CBSA Traveller Declaration Card (TDC) before you arrive and deposit it in the designated box in the NEXUS lane. If you do not have TDC privileges, you must use the regular lane to declare your goods.

United States resident

If you are a U.S. resident entering Canada with goods that are part of your personal entitlement, you may use the dedicated NEXUS lane. If you have goods that exceed your personal entitlement, you must use the regular lanes.

When the NEXUS lane is closed, you must use the regular lanes and declare your goods to a border services officer.
