Over the past five years, American authorities have revoked the NEXUS trusted traveller cards of thousands of Canadians, more than three times the number revoked by Canadian officials. Experts also add that if a Canadian's NEXUS card is revoked by American officials, it's difficult to appeal the decision or get it reversed. According to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), there were 1.7m NEXUS card holders as of MAY 2021. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) says that 77 per cent of those are Canadian, 21 per cent are American, and 2 per cent fall in the category of "other". However, numbers obtained by CBC show that American officials are responsible for 77 per cent of NEXUS card revocations. Canadian and American officials revoked 15,807 NEXUS cards between Jan. 1, 2016 and May 25, 2021. The CBSA says it revoked 3,591 cards — 22 per cent of revocations — while American CBP officials revoked 12,216 cards. However, Toronto lawyer Cyndee Todgham Cherniak commented on the difficulty of getting this decision reversed: “Very, very few have been successful and in the last year and a half, it has been almost impossible.”
