my fault for not doing enough research on 3yrs residency for PR before applying my wife for Nexus Card

my wife - 1yr in the US (worker visa), then 1.5yr PR here in Canada

just wondering why/how she got a "conditionally approved" and she has appointment for an interview next week.
- I assumed that they assumed she has exempted condition (as listed on the website)

does she have to live here in Canada as a PR for 3yrs, is the 1yr in the US not count?
 
just a update
during my Nexus interview, the officer confirmed that my wife will be eligible for Nexus membership
1yr in the US then 2yrs in Canada = 3yrs residency (allowed to vacation out of either country (maybe less than a month))
