Can you imagine if they did that with cars? I seriously doubt that there are very many Americans who know about these requirements, let alone us dangerous foreigners with our 7 knot sailboats. The whole point in my getting a Nexus card was so that I would not normally have to report physically at a controlled point of entry. The border control people could insist on it at any time of course, but they normally don't. All of this was carefully laid out by the Nexus / Homeland Security / Canadian Border Services people when I got my card. If I understand the article correctly, this has now changed? Steve.
