How does NEXUS work as a dual Canadian/American?

[zilchfox 296]

I wasn't sure if I should put this in the Canadian or the US Citizen section, sorry if it's in the wrong place.

 

So I have had a NEXUS membership before I ever moved to the US, and it's up for renewal, but this time I decided to renew it with my naturalization certificate as it satisfied two parts of the application with a single entry, but before that I renewed it as a Canadian. They didn't ask for any of my Canadian documents at all on this renewal, and they did not require me to present a US passport to renew, either. How will it be possible for me to use my NEXUS while going to and within Canada? Aren't I supposed to show my Canadian passport when going in, so I am not flagged as a visitor, when I am in fact Canadian, too?

 

Basically I'm just super confused as to how NEXUS works as a dualie with both countries that use it. I know that you can get penalized if used incorrectly (even if accidentally), so I want to avoid that.

You won't need NEXUS since you're a citizen of both. Yes, you do need to show the passport of whichever country you're entering.

But I want to use the NEXUS lanes. Without NEXUS, I can't do that, and would be forced to go through regular security clearance.

I have a Nexus and I remember when I went for a renewal biometrics there was someone there that was dual and was told you can only go one way. . . but that was 3  years ago so it may have changed.

Oh man. That would really suck.

Maybe you can call them up and ask? I would assume that both citizenships will be on record anyway. You can check your TTP account.

(I don't use NEXUS).
