So, I'm a mexican so I need a Visa to travel to Canada. According to the website, from March 15, 2016 mexican nationals will be able to travel to Canada by getting an eTA. I currently live in the US as a non-immigrant and I'm looking to travel to Canada since its a 2 hour drive from where I live. So, my question is, will the eTA also apply to enter Canada by land instead of getting a Visa?

(I'm not looking to getting a Canada visa because I see it takes a long time for them to approve it when in the USA since you have to send it via mail and it can take up to two months, on which they will have my passport and I won't have it in case of emergency or loosing my current job preventing me to go back to mexico or switch jobs)
