Official wording
7 (1) A foreign national may not enter Canada to remain on a temporary basis without first obtaining a temporary resident visa.
Aevamo’s reading
IRPR Part 2 Division 1, s.7(1), creates the temporary resident visa obligation and s.7.1(1) creates the eTA obligation that this regime answers; s.190 and Schedule 1.1 (separately fetched pages of the same regulation) grant the exemptions from that obligation. It is the instrument that imposes the requirement, not a description of it.
s.7(1) is the default rule: every foreign national entering Canada to remain temporarily must first obtain a temporary resident visa. None of these issuers is exempt under s.190 or Schedule 1.1 (verified in residualSweep), so the visa requirement applies to all of them.

What this answer covers Limits & assumptions
Work and residence rights are separate from this check. This is the entry rule and the length of stay the instrument grants. It is not a decision about you: the officer at the border decides admission, and we do not evaluate the purpose of your trip, your passport's remaining validity, an onward ticket, funds, insurance or health requirements.
