CANPASS is ending, by the way. I called just before Oshkosh to ensure that my new aircraft was listed under my form (it already was) and they said they aren't accepting any new applications but will honour those already in effect.
The plan is for Nexus to be used in the future. Thankfully, I have a Nexus card already for my business travel so I'm set.
Cheers

Good timing
As I plan to into Canada this weekend, I just learned that there is a airshow at the airport in Abbotsford where I was going to clear customs. The airport isn?t officially closed till 1030, and I plan to arrive around 830, clear customs then leave. What do you think, a little too tight of a timeline?

It is about time that Nexus replaces Canpass Air. It should have happened years ago.

Abbotsford. Probably enough time but if you need fuel might be tough.
Call Canada Customs up & ask for Langley, they might be ok with that.

Given how much else is going on there that weekend, i'd say you'd be better off choosing another airport. Boundary Bay (CZBB), about 10 miles to the west, is also an airport of entry. They don't have scheduled flight services, and as a result generally don't have customs staff on site. So your clearance could be just a phone call once you've landed.

Customs Confusion
>CANPASS is NOT being discontinued for private aircraft flying into Canada!
It seems that the CANPASS-Air and CANPASS-Small boats are going away but not for private aircraft.
>NO FEE is required unless you want to be preapproved at certain airports and then you will need to have a permit for yourself and each passenger ahead of time @ $40/person (good for 5 years).
>Just call CANPASS between 48 and 2 hours prior to arrival with information they need such as everyones name, address, birth dates, passport #, citizenship, etc.
>Return to US - They do not want anyone out of aircraft before their arrival!!
Honestly:They explained how they would then have to Geiger test each one of us and the airplane rather than just the airplane.
> If you are not able to reach US Customs by phone but call by radio 20 miles out and land right at your eAPIS declared time - You will have a major delay and threatened with a $20,000 fine if it ever happens again. (The customs office is on a 3200' runway and staffed 24/7)
