I'm waiting for my OWP to be delivered but today I received an email informing me that I have been approved for an eTA. The thing is I never applied for an eTA and this is the first bit of correspondence I have received since linking my account back on Apr 05?
Is it usual to get and eTA along with your OWP?
Status : eTA approved
Name : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Passport number : xxxxxxxxxxxx
eTA number : xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Expiration : xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Dear client,
In accordance with your Work Permit, you have been approved an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). You are now authorized to travel to Canada by air.
When you travel to Canada, you will need to bring the passport you used to apply for your Work Permit, as the eTA is electronically linked to it. Should you obtain a new passport, you will need to apply for a new eTA by visiting the following site http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/eta.asp.
Airline check-in staff and the Canada Border Services Agency will have electronic access to your eTA status using your passport.
In the future, you can verify the status and expiration of your eTA by using the eTA Check Status Tool. To do this, you will need the eTA number noted above and details from the passport you used to apply for your eTA.
