Nexus Card Experiences - Do you use Global Entry?

[21Goose]

I was approved for my Nexus card this week. I'm an Indian citizen, Canadian PR, and I have a US B1/B2 visa which is valid till 2027.

I don't really travel all that much to the US, but I applied for Nexus because I get CATSA privileges, and when I do travel to the US from Canada, I will get TSA PreCheck for my domestic travel inside the US.

I was told at the interview that I also get Global Entry privileges, even though I'm not a Canadian citizen, and that I can use it at any US airport when I arrive from any country. This was news to me.

I know for a fact that I can use Global Entry at Canadian airports when flying to the US, but what about when I'm flying to the US from Europe or Asia?

Has anyone in a similar situation (Indian/visa-required country citizen, Canadian PR) used Global Entry when flying into the US from Europe or any country besides Canada? What was your experience? Does it work?

After doing some research, I've learned that since India is one of the countries that has Global Entry privileges, Indian citizens with Nexus also get Global Entry.

Nice.

Hi 21Goose, may I know Which number did you enter as PR card number when you are filling the Nexus card application, the one on the front or the one on the back of card?

The one on the front (ID No.). Yes, the Nexus form doesn't accept the full number. I used the the last eight digits and had no issue.

Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much.
