The Minister of Public Safety, the Honourable Stockwell Day, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Ralph Basham announced the opening of NEXUS kiosks at Edmonton International Airport on Sept. 27, 2007.
NEXUS is designed to expedite the border clearance process for low-risk, pre-approved travellers into Canada and the United States. NEXUS uses non-invasive iris recognition technology to identify the traveller and verify his or her membership in the pogram.
The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) and U.S. Customs and Border Protection are co-operating in this joint venture to simplify border crossing for members, while enhancing security.
NEXUS applications are now available at Canada Post outlets across the country.
