When filling out the arrivecan app, the app asks you the purpose of your visit. Which option should I pick? I feel like none of these options address a first time COPR completing landing formalities? Should I just pick "None of the Above?" Anyone have any recent experience?

What is the purpose of your travel? (required)

Find out if you can enter Canada

Returning to Canada
Canadian citizen, permanent resident, or a person registered under the Indian Act returning to Canada. This group of people can always enter Canada if they meet the requirements.
