Hey guys. Let me try and give you a precise timeline of my question.
I have applied for a Working Holiday permit somewhere around January.
Meanwhile, I was planning a visit to Canada as a tourist, to see my boyfriend living in Toronto.
I got my biometrics checked in Madrid and waited for them to be submitted.
During that time I bought a ticket to Canada (departure on the 2nd of May), again, this trip is just for a visit.
I was told i needed to apply for an eTA, which I did, not just because I had no idea that if my work permit was approved in the meanwhile I would get an eTA, but also because I had no idea if it would be approved before the 2nd of may.
Not long after, I got the confirmation my eTA was approved. (11th of April)
5 days later, my Work permit was approved and I got my PoE letter, which came with another eTA. (16th of April).
I did not know a new eTA would cancel the old one out, which makes perfect sense. So, today, checking my oldest eTA, I discovered this message:
I was informed on a facebook group that I got this message because I got a new eTA with my work permit, but I wouldn't be able to check my work permit's eTA at the checking tool, because for some reason, they never show up in the database.
So now I am honestly terrified, becasue I have no idea what to do. Please advise me.
Should I get a new eTA?
Considering this will be the third that will be issued to my passport, won't I have any problems in my flight?
Should I just have faith that my work permit's eTA is there and is valid?
I've submitted a webform asking this exact question, but I am not hoping to get a reply any time soon...
Any advise will be wholeheartedly appreciated.

"Following an assessment of your file, it has been determined that you no longer meet the requirements for an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA). As a result, your eTA has been cancelled.
Your file is now closed. Should you wish to reapply for an eTA, we encourage you to do so only once you have addressed the reason(s) for the cancellation of your application. At that time, you may submit a new application at etc.
you are no longer considered to hold a valid eTA. As such you should not plan or undertake any travel to Canada"
