How long the Canada eTA lasts
Canada eTA validity: up to 5 years or until the passport you applied with expires, whichever comes first. A new passport needs a new eTA. While it is valid you can travel to Canada as often as you want, normally for stays of up to 6 months at a time.
Multiple entries
During that period you can travel to Canada more than once.
Each stay is limited to 6 months. The border officer decides how long you may stay on arrival.
With a new passport
The authorization follows the passport it was granted against. A new passport means a new application.
Finding the date again
It is in the approval email. Keep it.
