Same thing - you were caught working illegally based on messages on your cell phone. You then received a six month exclusion order for working illegally in Canada. Because you violated the terms of a previous stay in Canada, this is likely why it's taking longer for the ETA to be processed and why there's a risk it may be refused.Y16v said:They didn't find that I was working illegally but the saw a message in my mobile.
It's unfortunately no one's fault other than your own that you're stuck waiting at an airport. You shouldn't have booked flight tickets until you had an approved ETA.
