I hold a Canadian passport and am in a situation where I’d like to visit my family in India in about 3 weeks. I’m currently going through the OCI application process but have some concerns that I may not get my application through in time. If anyone could shed some light on the following questions, I would very much appreciate it!
1. Can I apply for an Indian tourist visa while my OCI application is being processed?
2. Does BLS Toronto allow tourist visa applications to be made on a walk-in basis without a prior appointment? Or are postal and appointments the only options?

Thanks. Regarding Point 2, the Consulate General of India’s website states that e visas are not currently being granted to Canadian citizens. I believe this only leaves me with the option of a tourist visa, but I’m not sure if I apply for this at BLS toronto on a walk-in basis. The next available appointment is over a month from now, which would present an issue for me.
