TLDR : Answer Summary

The eVisa and the new ETA are completely different. The eVisa is applied through an embassy for an actual visa, while the ETA is for those who are not applying for a visa.

They're not even remotely connected. eVisa is for those applying for an actual visa through an embassy, ETA is for those NOT applying for a visa
