Why it is not necessary to carry the Printed ETA?

Because it is connected to their passport, travelers do not need to carry a physical copy of the Canadian eTA. As a result, only qualified foreign citizens going to Canada with a biometric passport are eligible for the eTA.

A microprocessor chip is incorporated in a biometric passport, also known as an ePassport. This chip contains biographical data that may be used to identify the passport bearer.

Because the data contained on the chip is highly costly and difficult to fake, the ePassport is more secure than its machine-readable predecessor. Given its superiority, 120 nations now offer biometric passports, implying that the majority of eligible foreigners may apply for the Canadian eTA.

If you are unclear whether your passport includes a chip, check for the little biometric emblem inscribed on the cover of the passport, which resembles a camera.
