Today my eTA came through - it took a month. I applied for Criminal Rehabilitation which was approved. We booked our travel to Canada (for August) and hit a glitch with my eTA. I filled out the Case Specific enquiry and attached the letter from the Canadian Government approving Criminal Rehabilitation -got a reply but still no idea of how long it will take. So I emailed my story to the Canadian Immigration office that processed my Criminal Rehabilitation over the weekend and today they came back and said they would process my eTA with the approval coming in 72 hours but it came almost immediately. Such a relief as we were about to cancel our trip.
. I have learned a valuable lesson- 1. Get the Criminal Rehabilitation 2. Get your eTA 3. Now book travel.
