Public safety minister says 200 people have lost access to Nexus card
OTTAWA — About 200 Canadian people have been unable to use their Nexus cards to cross the American border since U.S. President Donald Trump ordered a temporary halt to immigration from certain countries, the federal public safety minister said Monday.
“None of them are Canadian citizens,” Ralph Goodale said during question period.
“We are working with our American counterparts to make sure that all Canadians are treated fairly.”
The Nexus program allows citizens and permanent residents in both Canada and the U.S. to be pre-screened for clearance in a bid to speed up border crossings.
