Nexus Application Centres to Return to Eight Airports in Canada

Centres will start re-opening this week

The federal government says the Nexus traveler program will return within the next few weeks.

For nearly a year, registering for the program has been halted in Canada due to clashes with the U.S. over legal protections.

The problems created a significant backlog in applications for the program, which gives pre-approved travelers the ability to cross the border more quickly.

According to the Canada Border Services Agency, enrolment centres will re-open at the Halifax and Winnipeg airports on March 27th.

This will be followed by a staggered re-opening at the other six airports offering the service.

The service will return to airports in Ottawa and Toronto on April 24th.
