We tied up, waited 40 minutes (just to be safe) , no one showed up, so we left. Don't remember any of that being on the Nexus web site.
Remember that at Poet’s Cove (Bedwell Harbour) customs dock has cameras. It’s very possible that they observed you, saw that you were who you said you were and allowed you to continue on. Had there been issues they may have sent someone to speak to you.

In the future, you might consider registering with the ROAM application. Then all of your information is stored in the app and available for customs and you clear on the app - without having to call in for clearance. We’re heading to Canada next month and I’ll be testing the ROAM app for the first time.
