Hi, does a PR applicant from a visa exempted country needed eTA for landing? My MIL and FIL, from a visa exempted country, received CoPR but no visa on their passport. Not sure if they need to apply eTA. I check IRCC website but could not find anything. When I tried applying for eTA there is no option for "PR Landing" as below just visit, transit, study and work.

Did I miss anything here?

Final instructions to apply for an eTA
Before you use the eTA form, read these instructions carefully.
To get the instructions, tell us which country issued your passport.
I’m applying for an eTA with a passport issued by: (required)
  • Austria
  • France
  • Another country
What do you plan to do in Canada? (required)
  • Visit as a tourist or visit family
  • Transit through Canada by air
  • Attend a meeting or conference
  • Study
  • Work

Just after posting this ... I found the answer here .. and the answer is NO

I have a Confirmation of Permanent Residence (CoPR) and will travel to Canada. Do I need an eTA?
No. If you are from a visa-exempt country and have a Confirmation of Permanent Residence document, you don’t need an eTA. However, if you haven’t received this document before your planned travel to Canada, you will need to apply for an eTA.
If you are from a visa-required country, a permanent resident visa will automatically be issued in your passport for your travel to Canada.
In both cases, make sure you travel to Canada with your valid passport and your valid Confirmation of Permanent Residence document.
