Awesome congratulations.
Yes I will try urgent as well as I have a work trip coming up but my tickets are not yet booked.
I would be careful about using Indian passport as you will be digging yourself deeper and deeper in to a hole everytime you use it.
Agreed.
I spoke to the border officer and he said just to carry your Canadian passport and NOT the Indian which I will do.
That’s good info. How about the H1B visa stamp and i94 slip that is in Indian passport? Would they ask for it to transfer to Canadian passport?
If you have a valid I797 document; you just need to carry that along with your Canadian passport and they will update your I94. no more visa stamping.
Oh for real? You mean I can bring i797 approval notice along with Canadian Passport and they can update i94. And when H1B renews, I don’t need to stamp H1B visa on my Canadian passport like how we used to go to embassy for visa stamping on Indian passport?
I checked this with couple of guys. We can re-enter Canada via land border using printed version of e-certificate and Valid ID (drivers license or health card I assume).
Can you please share your citizenship timeline ? I am trying to figure out whether it take longer with cross broder commute to the US compared to a someone without much travel history

Test: Feb 15th, 2024
Fingerprint: April 2nd, 2024

I don’t think process is longer for cross commuters. It depends on the reviewing officers, I think.

Thanks for your quick reply, really appreciated. One question, your BG completed after the FP or is it the other way ?
Hi Guys,
I recently received my Canadian passport and in the process of surrendering Indian passport. How do I change the citizenship on Nexus? Can I just drive to the nexus enrollment center without appointment and ask them to verify and change the citizenship on Nexus? I asked couple of border agents but they just said they are not sure.
Thanks
