My guess is that they word things as such because GE is not valid for US-to-CA travel. Best to play it safe though. | |

However the Canadians won’t let you board without a passport or nexus card, which is point #1 and the critical one in this situation. They are under no obligation to respect the GE card. An gate agent might take pity on a kid but they also risk huge fines if they are caught boarding him. | |

NEXUS essentially is GE when traveling from .ca to .us. Can't say I've tried it, mind. You'd certainly need NEXUS to do the reverse. Bear in mind GE and NEXUS cards look identical except for saying "GLOBAL ENTRY" instead of "NEXUS". | |
| Oct 25, 2018 at 22:42 | comment | added | RoboKaren | @JimMacKenzie - I don't think so, not for boarding on a Canadian flight. The NEXUS card is the result of a bilateral treaty between Canada and the USA that gives reciprocity -- that is also has global entry features is something the USA does on its own, and Global Entry as a whole is an American program that has no bilaterality with Canada -- something I raised in another question (why Canadians can't get GE): travel.stackexchange.com/questions/118084/… | |
