Hello forum,

I am planning to apply for my e-visa to India as a Canadian Citizen. My OCI application is currently under process, however, it will not be completed before my travel date hence the need to apply for e-visa. I have heard the process is quick and straight forward, so looking for a few application form related guidance below.

1. Does OCI application under process hold any bearing on the e-tourist visa application?
2. I am going with Citizenship/National ID No. as "NA" is that the correct response?
3. Under present occupation, I am going to with Other and putting 'Consultant' as my option as there isn't a direct drop down option for a consultant. I work with a Big4 firm in Toronto. Is this okay?
4. Under 'Details of Friends/Relatives' (since my reason for visit is indicated as visiting relatives/friends), how much detail is required? I am writing 'visiting family' I am wondering what is the appropriate level of detail that needs to go in this?
5. Places to be visited - should I indicate the port of entry as well? E.g. New Delhi or just the final city of visit?
6. Countries visited in last 10 years - my understanding is this requires details of countries visited in last 10 year on the Canadian Passport and I have only recently traveled to 1 country. Is that what needs to go here?
7. References - Is it okay to indicate a family member? Father or brother?
8. Have you lived for at least two years in the country where you are applying visa? My understanding is this is related to Canada and answer is yes.
Not sure about the relevance of permanent address - Can I Indicate it as my present Canadian address?
