Hey guys - Update: Got eVisa ETA issued today - validity 1 year (they haven't started 5 years for Canadian passport for some unknown reason). It took less than. 24 hours. I entered NA for the "Citizenship/National Id No" in the application form.

Thanks for helping me out .

Congrats!

Did you enter NO for 'Have you ever visited India before?' in ''Previous Visa/Currently valid Visa Details' section?

that's the best part - it's directly applied at Gov of India website. I'm sure if it would have been online via BLS, they would take weeks to process

I don’t think visa will be cancelled if you just apply for OCI…but once you get your OCI, visa might get cancelled automatically which wouldn’t matter anymore.

I had submitted the application last night - Friday morning India time.

Are there chances of getting it approved by tonight?

Normal processing time is 7 days. Add additional 5-7 days for postal.

Got 3 emails saying that the evisa is granted. We will have to take print out of these emails, right? There isn't any PDF or anything like that they'll send?
