Hi, write "XXX" in the given name section for oci and leave it as is. On the Canadian passport application, write your full name in the full name/ surname section and leave the given name section empty. . This shouldn't be a problem as I have done the same; my given name is empty on my Canadian passport, and I have "XXX" on my OCi. It will be okay.

Did you attach any affidavit for xxx name in given name field for OCI?

With Weekend in between it may just come in time but could be risky to wait. You can apply for evisa 72 hrs before your flight just to be safe.
