. very confusing . this 'where' is still not clear to me .Looks like @abbas.pasha is using the answer of this question for the previous one
Have you lived for at least two years in the country where you are applying visa? Yes No -> This question is about Canada, so Yes
Have you ever visited India before ? YES / No -> This is with your Canadian passport, so No
Yes you are correct . Even i have asked same question on helpdesk. their answer is same as yours. they replied and said this is question is : "Have you lived in your country of which the passport you are holding" . i dont know why they ask this question .
but anyway I got the answer ! thanks everyone.
Likely this question is from the fact that e.g. if you are a Canadian citizen living and applying for eVisa from the US
Hello, I hope someone might be able to help with this. We applied for e-visa (one year), for myself, daughter and wife. No issues with mine or my daughter's ETA. However, there is an issue with my wife's ETA. My wife's passport number starts with 0. In the ETA, they put O instead of 0. This is a mistake on their end as when we got the submission confirmation email it had correct passport number on it. We have sent an email to indian-evisa@gov.in asking to fix this. But it's been 4 days and haven't heard anything back yet. We will be sending them a note again and also send an email to support-boi@mha.gov.in
Does anyone know what to do if we don't get a response from them? Would we need to reapply for the visa? Also if we reapply, can they reject it since the E-visa was already granted (though with incorrect passport number)
Appreciate if anyone can help with this or share if they have gone through similar experience.

I have to travel to India urgently My father is in ICU just received my Canadian passport and applying for e-visa but I am not sure If I need Surrender certificate first.
Timeline to get surrender certificate is few weeks. I called BLS they gave me different answers.
can you advise if I can apply for e-visa without surrender certificate?
Thank you for your response in advance!

You dont need SC for eVisa.
Apply for eVisa online through this website https://indianvisaonline.gov.in/evisa/tvoa.html.
You do not need to deal with BLS for eVisa.
Only in the case of Entry Visa (x) you will need to go through BLS
Thank you for replying! Can you also advise what option will be faster: e-visa for 30 days or 1 year ?
and if 30 days is faster and can I apply for extension from India?
I don't think the duration defines the speed with which the e-visa is processed. In most cases you get it within 12 hrs. Better go with 1 yr one but you can live maximum of 180 days in India.
