Just to note, crossing the border often enough to merit getting the card is not criteria to get one, or not. When asked why, I simply said I was handed a brochure when returning to Canada once and I wanted to make crossing the border more expeditious. Also note, you are still subject to border...

Just being realistic . . . I'm with BuzzBuzz. I'll get excited next November.

Yes, that would be best.
