I renewed my study permit this January. I wanted to renew my visa as well. Then realized there is this thing called eTA. From what I understand from the website I should have an eTA already (see below),but I don't think I do. Should I apply for one!?

""As of May 1, 2017, eligible citizens of select visa-required countries will receive an eTA when renewing their study permit. The eTA is electronically linked to the passport that you used to renew your permit and is valid for five years or until your passport expires. You can only use the eTA when you fly to, or transit through, Canada by air. You will receive a letter from us with information about your eTA number and expiration date.""

You don't qualify for an eTA. You need to apply for a TRV.
