It’s probably not important. It depends which country we’re talking about, whether or not US authorities will be suspicious of the passport.

i am completing am application form to renew my nexus card. Under the document checklist section, I put in my passport and birth certificate info. What document do I use for citizenship document. I was born a Canadian citizen so only have a birth certificate and a canadian passport.
Your passport is used for both proof of identity and citizenship. If you are providing your passport you do not need to provide your birth certificate.
How do I add one more child to get a Nexus card, he wasn’t born yet when our family applied. Also, can I get a temporary Nexus card for my mother who is visiting Canada on a Supervisa?
You have to submit a separate application for your child for their NEXUS Card; you cannot add the child to your card.
NEXUS Card holders must be residents of Canada or the United States so your mother is not eligible.
I sent in our paper application on February 20,2017 and still have not received a letter from them – it is now May 3 – can i call them or stop by a nexus office to find out the status
No you cannot call to find out the status of your application.
Create an online account to see if you can discover you application status.
Just received email regarding renewing my NEXUS membership. I’m a Canadian citizen married to a US Citizen and have just applied for a green card for permanent residence in the U.S. (case is pending). Can I still renew my NEXUS membership?
Yes

Yes, of course you do.
How do I book Nexus interviews for myself and my wife , it seems we have two separate accounts
First you need to make sure your appointments are booked close together (preferably in consecutive spots). Then you need to call the Enrolment Centre where you are booked and ask if you can be seen together. You can also ask when you show up for the first of your appointments.
I have to replace my lost Nexus card.What do I need to do?
First you need to report it lost to the nearest enrolment centre. (It does not have to be the enrolment centre you had your interview at.)
I recently got married and changed my name on my Canadian license and health card. I have not yet updated my passport. The two identification documents tied to my Nexus are my passport (old name) and license (new name). Can I update the license to the new name, or will this effect my nexus status?
Updating your license will not, in itself, affect your NEXUS. But if you are asked to present an ID in addition to your NEXUS and you have no other IDs in your name, you may have issues. So you should update your NEXUS Card after you update your license.
Are two Nexus applications required if we plan on using it for both air and land travel?
No, only one application is necessary. But you need to make sure you get an iris scan as you cannot use your NEXUS Card for air travel without the iris scan. Iris scans are only available at some enrolment centres.
