I will be making a contribution to the March of Dimes. Thank you, Guy Betsy, for allowing me to donate to this great cause, while helping get my family ETAs!

Hi!
I don't know if this is the correct thread to post my query, but mods please feel free to move my post.
I applied for an Australian visitor visa (I hold a passport from an Asian country and used the online system to apply as I am currently living and working in the USA). I got the visa grant notice today. There is no mention of needing the visa stamp on the passport. (I just applied online for a Canadian visa and they asked for my passport to stamp the visa on it after my documents were checked).
Am I correct in assuming that I do not need the actual physical visa on the passport and I just need to print the pdf that they sent me? (and that everything else is electronic).

I wish to express my appreciation to Guy Betsy for his contribution of this ETA Australia service to community members.
I have made a donation to WWF to specific threatened species campaigns. I have also asked to remove my postal information from WWF marketing so that money is not spent to send such future donation request letters.

Whenever I have the funds to go to the land down under, I will keep this post in mind, and I do volunteer work at my church and participate in their monthly community outreach things with some donations of goods (food for food bank, baby items for baby pantry, etc).
