The Canadian Border Services Agency has temporarily suspended NEXUS interviews at enrolment centres in the United States beginning Monday until further notice amid concerns about the Omicron COVID-19 variant. In an email to NEXUS members, the CBSA said the temporary suspension would be “re-evaluated as the border measures evolve,” and said their decision stemmed from the government’s recent updated travel advisory for Canadians to avoid non-essential travel outside of Canada, as well as the upcoming suspension of the short-trip PCR test exemption, which goes into effect Dec. 21, 2021 at 12:01 EST.
