Are F-1 and F-2 U.S. visas valid for applying for the Canadian eTA?
I believe both F-1 and F-2 are considered U.S. nonimmigrant visas, and the website states: "currently hold a valid United States (US) nonimmigrant visa."


However, when I clicked the "nonimmigrant visa" link, it directed me to the "visitor visa B1/B2" category.

Can anyone clarify this?

No, it's based on your country of citizenship.
