Nexus Dept: Applications for Nexus cards have increased about 17 per cent since Canada and the United States began to more aggressively push the program earlier this year, causing some delays in processing applications, according to Vancouver Sun. But some air carriers don't appear to be training their check-in staff to recognize the cards and oTTAWA - A joint Canada-U.S. program that allows so-called "trusted travellers" to more easily cross the border is catching on with Canadian frequent flyers but some major airlines aren't keeping pace. The Nexus cards are designed to make border security more efficient by allowing passengers who aren't considered a danger to go through customs more quickly, while border guards focus on travellers who have the potential to be high risk.
