So, I will be landing as PR next week in Canada. I have clothes, some household items and some jewelry. However, some items are not for me and for my family members who are already in Canada. I am aware I need to fill up BSF168 for my personal items. There are no gifts, but some items are for my family members. Do I also include them in the same form?

I am very paranoid regarding these issues.

Additionally, if there is something that I need to be aware of, please let me know.

Your guidance will mean a lot.

Thank you

[EDIT]
Do we also need to mention used clothes and all, because my clothes are not new, well, some of them, but mostly used?

I suggest reading the text of the form:
https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/forms-formulaires/bsf186-eng.html

"With the exception of wedding gifts, bride's trousseau, alcoholic beverages andtobacco products described in the Tariff Item No. 9807.00.00 Exemption Order, all household and personal effects imported or to be imported by me under this tariff item have actually been owned, possessed, and used abroad by me prior to the date of my arrival in Canada.
All goods imported are my personal or household property..."

There's no provision here for other family members.
