I am a Bangladeshi citizen currently living in London. I got a job offer from a company in Canada and an LMIA has been issued on my name from that same company. However company representative applied for an eTA on behalf of me and it has been approved. I have checked the eTA application status and when I clicked on the approved help button its says 'Approved' means we have approved your work permit application.
So can I travel to Canada with the eTA number and my passport?
I have been told from the company that I will get my visa stamped at the airport of Canada. So is that information true?

Therefore, it would be a great help for me if I could get to above information.

Many Thanks,
Mithun.

If you are a Foreign national from Visa exempt Country then eTA will suffice, If not then you would need a Visa to enter Canada.

Please check if you are from Visa exempt country from the below link.

Work permit which is different from Visa is provided by CBSA office at Port of entry in Canada.

interesting that you as a Bangladeshi citizen and assume passport holder that you got an ETA as citizens of Bangladesh do not have visa exempt passports so need a visa for Canada given ETA is not applicable unless the LMIA approval overides that.
 
Many thanks for the reply.

Company representative says company applied for the work permit for me with the LMIA then eTA approved on my name. But I have not got visa stamped on my passport. He is saying I can fly with the eTA number and passport and once I go there my visa will be stamped at the port!

So it that information true??

I would really appreciate if anyone helps me about it please..

Thanks.

How did you get this job (full details) and who is the employer? You might be being scammed.
