How should I report report fake Canadian eTA websites? - Black Samsung Tablet Computer

My wife was applying for an eTA to visit Canada, and exclaimed in surprise about the price. And I was surprised because I remembered it being very cheap.

I came an had a look and it looked legit at first. Then I looked closer: "official-canada-eta.com". Sure does not sound official, and the fine print at the bottom said: This website is owned and operated by sweet startup ltd, a private company registered in the United Kingdom. We are not affiliated with any government or embassy.

But they were very highly ranked in the google search results for a number of related terms.

Looking around I spotted another https://www.eta-canada-visa.com/.

Are these illegal? Or are they loopholing though as "visa assistance services" or something of the like.

Note: I am not looking for tips on how to identity such a fake site. Just if I can/should report it, and if so where.
