Four sounds correct from my experience at YVR last week.

Still, better to be safe than sorry, given the possible consequences if you encounter a CBP officer having a bad day.
Prior to GE/NEXUS, I had a US CBP at YUL give the "why are you wasting my time" response, but I agree, better safe than sorry.
