I'll admit that it seems a bit odd to ask the question directly, but I did have a similar experience when I travelled to the US using my Canadian passport for the first time. In my case the border guard asked me what country I was born in. The officer was unsure of the country code that was...

Luck, and patience! To get an appointment you need to be online at the time new appointments are released or when someone happens to cancel an appointment at the location you're looking at. Then you need to be the first one to accept that appointment. When I got my appointment I probably...

I honestly cannot remember. It was a while ago. My UCI is only 8 digits though.

I don't have experience with this, particularly. However, I'm assuming that you would be sent to the agents who can also do Global Entry Enrollment on Arrival. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/enrollment-arrival

I, too, got my card yesterday (June 14th) so just under 2 weeks from the interview date. It printed with Canadian as my citizenship, but the "membership information" section still lists my Netherlands passport as document proving citizenship and allowing entry to US. I'll probably take a day...

My Ceremony was on a Tuesday. File closed on Wednesday, got the certificate the following Tuesday. Some people who had the ceremony on the same day as I did even got their certificates on Friday. My guess is that when the file is closed the certificates are mailed that day, or the next and...

Yes, completely normal for it to say that. Congratulations on getting your oath date. Some dates of the updates will change on the system when you get your email, but your oath date should remain the same. Keep an eye out for the oath letter now. Mine came exactly 7 days before the ceremony...

Yes, It can help if you can show reservations but you can also write a letter attesting that you will be travelling.

You enter your known traveller number (KTN) with your booking, and your boarding pass may* print with PreCheck on it. With that boarding pass, you can use a dedicated security lane at the TSA checkpoint and you can keep your shoes, belts and light jacket on, and leave liquids and electronics in...

Congratulations! Can be as quick as a day, but can also be weeks or months.

I picked up at Scarborough last week. I would suggest coming first thing in the morning to pick up. I was out in about 40 minutes then. The line for pickups seemed a lot longer in the afternoon.

I got my email exactly 7 days before the oath ceremony, but it can vary based on reports here. Have fun at your Oath Ceremony and Congrats!

This is my first card. I haven't received it yet so don't know what will be printed on it.

Had my interview today. Got a phone call while I was driving from Toronto to Detroit saying I could come in at any time and didn't have to wait for my specific appointment time. There were no CBSA officers working in the Enrolment Centre today because of the Canada Day holiday. My TTP...

Does anyone know if CBSA officers will be available at the enrolment centres on Canada Day? I applied for Nexus as a PR and got conditional approval recently after becoming Canadian. I have an appointment for the Nexus interview on July 1 and I will need CBP and CBSA to update my citizenship...
