I'm from Mexico and as I don't need a visa (only eTA) to travel by land to Canada, on January 20th 2023, I went to the border crossing (Point Roberts) to do a flagpole (I was already in Canada when the LMIA approval letter arrived to my company), when I arrived to the Canadian border office they told me to come back in 1 week but they kept all my documents.
On January 27th 2023, I got my Work Permit approved (LMIA) after the interview and my biometrics.
To be honest I never asked about my eTA, as far as I have read, all work permits and all study permits come with an eTA issued automatically when they get approved.
https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1052&top=16 , of course, I didn't know that at that time.
I applied for an eTA on December 28th and so far I have no answer. I sent several web forms asking about my eTA situation but no answer yet.

So, my question is...
Did I get an eTA linked to my passport when I got my Work permit approved doing the flagpole?
I've tried to find information on the matter but no luck so far.

Any information, suggestions are welcome!

How did you get to Canada without an ETA?
