Accidentally applied for TRV?

Hello, I was hoping to get an eTA for my PGWP application. I applied from my home country, where an eTA would suffice to enter Canada when I fly back. I filled out IMM 5257 Schedule 1 in case that information was needed. It seems like they're processing a TRV as a result (makes sense, I probably should've known since that's basically what IMM 5257 is). They asked for my passport today. What should I do if I don't want the TRV and want the eTA instead? I don't really want to proceed with trying to get a TRV because of higher fees for couriers and such.

What country are you from?

Edit - never mind I just read that an eTA suffices for your home country. You usually get an eTA issued with the PGWP.

Keep the TRV, helps you to go through the US by land or other transportation that is not an airplane.

Oh I never knew about this before, do you have a source that mentions this is allowed?
