Hello, I am currently applying for an eTA to travel from Europe to Canada. Earlier this year, I entered Canada by bus from the United States without the need for an eTA or visa. Regarding the question, "Have you ever applied for or obtained a visa, an eTA or permit to visit, live, work or study in Canada?", should I answer "No" because I entered Canada previously by land without needing an eTA? "The other option would be to answer 'Yes' and specify that I entered through the US-Canada border. Would this choice typically result in a longer processing time for the eTA?"
Thank you in advance!
