What is the process for getting a Visa to visit India for Canadian Citizens?

I do not have any experience for applying a Visa for India.

If you apply in person.. it will take forever.. Line-up starts about an hour before the office opens and they only take requests till noon or something. So be ready to sit there for at least 3 - 4 hours.

I went to the Brampton office this weekend to drop off my application. Got there around noon and the line up was about 80 ppl outside the building. Was told that they close the doors at 2 and if you are not inside the office (which was already full) you will not get processed. Luckily I knew someone in line and got in, once inside they were extremely helpful.

Make sure when filling out hte form you specify EITHER Tourist OR Visitor (The Visitor Visa is double the price but allows extensions, while the tourist VISA can not be extended)

The office also accepts credit and debit cards, I was given a tracking number and told it should be ready in 3-5 business days.
