Hi, I am a PR returning to Canada after about three years (I know the implications of this). I found out that I will have to fill up a "Customs and Immigration Declaration" form where I need to state what goods I am bringing in and what I have purchased on my time abroad. Can you advice on this? Does someone need to declare ALL of their goods including clothes, devices and what not? Or in which cases I will have to declare something? It also says I will have to declare the values of goods I have with me which is also quite confusing.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I landed already and had to return but got stuck for the Covid-19 situation. Now I am returning with a valid PR but after 3 years.
So number 2. What do I put in for the total value of goods? Total of everything I have with me including clothes, personal electronics? This is quite confusing.

You have not answered my question. Did you settled in Canada after you landed in 2018 for at least a year (until 2019)? If not, you should pick number 1.

Thanks for the reply. I stayed for about 3 months, left in the beginning of 2019. Since its been 3+ years since then, should I chose Visitor in the form?

Are you referring to the online declaration when you are saying Number 1? I did not make the online declaration, I am expecting the on-flight form that is given out before landing.

These forms are no longer given on flight. Instead, you would need to scan your passport, declare the customs and take a picture on the machine. Afterwards, you show your prepared settlers effect BSF186 form to the custom officer with the receipt you received from that machine.
