Thought I'd share my recent experience to this growing thread.
Nexus was set to expire Dec 2022. I received my Program Expiry Email notification to renew on July 4th. I completed the online application within a day or two of the email was given the 1 year automatic extension and I received notification on August 30th that my renewal was approved, no interview required. So just around 8 weeks processing.
My husband's Nexus is expiring Feb 2023 just received his email notification to renew this week. He completed his form last night and so we shall see if its the same time frame or not.
I had zero changes from my previous application - same job history, living in the same place. Hubby has a new job to report. Not sure if any of that impacts speed or interview requirements.
Oh and yes we have the CIBC Adventura credit card which provides a refund on the application fees which is a nice bonus to that card.
We are finally cruising for the first time since the shut down in just over 2 weeks. Can Not Wait!!!
