Disclosing speeding tickets on NEXUS application?
So, I’m probably totally over thinking this but I’d appreciate thoughts from others who have experience with NEXUS.
I applied for NEXUS earlier this week and for the section that asks whether you have any convictions that you haven’t been pardoned for, I said No.
I don’t have a criminal record or misdemeanor - nothing.
BUT, I do have a PENDING speeding ticket that I’m fighting. At the time when I filled out the application, I said no because generally background checks don’t include traffic tickets. When I read more carefully, it said, “ANY convictions”… So I called the enrolment centre to ask, she suggested I should have disclosed it, but since it’s been already submitted I can’t withdrawal or do anything except wait for the results. She said it will either be conditionally approved with additional questions at the interview or denied for false information, which is really serious!
So now I’m scared if me putting No under the ”any convictions” question instead of disclosing my pending speeding ticket (Just speeding, nothing else on the ticket). Did I really make that grave of a mistake to possibly lead to misrepresentation? I’m Canadian, not sure if that makes a difference.
