I soft-landed at Vancouver last October (officially became PR) and today, after like 4 months, I got a message from IRCC which told me that my eTA cancelled. The message is shown below. I have two questions:
1. I have checked in this forum that cancellation of eTA after officially becoming a PR is a standard thing. Therefore, for me, I do not have to do anything regarding this message, i.e. I can just go back Canada anytime, with my PR card on hand. Right?
2. Please pay attention to the IRCC message I show below. I highlighted green part and red part. I think the red part is a mistake, right? (really sloppy....)

Following an assessment of your file, it has been determined that you no longer meet the requirements for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). As a result, your eTA has been cancelled.
Your application has been cancelled for the following reason(s):
You are not eligible for an eTA as you are a Canadian Permanent Resident. As a Canadian permanent resident, you will need to present a valid Permanent Resident Card or a Permanent Resident Travel Document when travelling to Canada.
Your file is now closed. Should you wish to reapply for an eTA, we encourage you to do so only once you have addressed the reason(s) for the cancellation of your application. At that time, you may submit a new application at www.canada.ca/eTA.
You are no longer considered to hold a valid eTA. As such, you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada by air. If you do decide to travel to Canada, you may experience delays or be prevented from boarding your flight and/or entering Canada.
