unsure about my infant's status during landing?

[Dko]

hi there,

my wife and baby girl and I will be landing in Edmonton on this weekend
I am a Canadian citizen holding a CDN passport
my wife is a Chinese citizen who was approved for PR, she has her Chinese passport with the COPR letter
my baby girl was born in China but she has a CDN citizenship certificate and a CDN passport

since it will be the 1st time my baby girl is landing in Canada :

Is she consider to be a "settler" like her mother? or she is a "returning resident" like me?

thanks

Settler. Returning resident is only for those who have previously lived in Canada.

hi zardoz,

so then do I need to fill out a B4E "personal effects accounting document" for my baby girl?
also she got some gold jewelry from relatives can she claim them as duty free since she's a settler?

thanks

You can include them on your wife's B4 I believe, if you prefer. Yes, they will be free from duty.
