For the ArriveCan question , I just found this URL to contact them
https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/arrivecan/contact-us.html

And they mentioned ; it would be None of the Above as she is coming to live here as a PR.


For the declaration question .
Cash+Jewelery makes sense to say yes .
How about personal clothing + electronics like laptop , phone etc ; do they count ?

Yes you have to declare. As a landing immigrant, you can bring any value of the goods without import duty. You just needed to declare. You can also declare that you will bring goods in subsequent trips using "Goods to follow " form, so those goods also exempt from import duty.

1. You should choose Yes.
2.Family reunification

I would select other, it isn't necessairily reunification. It is landing for PR, they will ask you why you chose other, then tell them you are landing as a PR. Surprised that isn't an option.

SecondQ - None of the above
Family reunification is for family members on TRV visiting. She became permanent resident and coming to Canada.
