Do NEXUS cards issued to permanent residents of Canada become invalid if you no longer live in Canada?
Let's say one is a permanent resident of Canada (and is not a North American national) and is therefore eligible for a NEXUS card. If they apply and receive a card but then move out of Canada (say, to the US), would the NEXUS continue to be valid? And if so, would it continue to be valid when the person in question loses their Canadian residency due to not living there for too long?
Best Answer
As long as you satisfy all requirements of Nexus it won't become invalidated. For e.g., if you lose your Canadian PR status but now you're a US PR/Citizen or Canadian citizen you still satisfy the Nexus requirements. The Nexus requirement isn't specifically tied to the eligibility criteria that you specified when you first applied. Circumstances change and as long as you report them to the Nexus authorities in time and you are still eligible, you should be fine.
