So from my understanding the Nexus card is Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) compliant, but also comes with the perks of:

  • Faster border crossing at Canada/US borders
  • Global entry and Nexus Air (which is the Canadian Global Entry)
  • TSA precheck

 

Also I can apply for it without sending off my passport.

 

All for 38.33 USD (if you fill out the paper form and pay the 50 CAD), also free for under 18 while the passport card is 30 USD.

Yep!

 

Highly recommended if you live near a border state that has application centers. It's also Real ID compliant so you can fly domestically with it instead of your passport come Sept 2020. This only matters if you live in a state such as Washington where there are two tiers of IDs, regular & enhanced, with differing prices.
