Thats correct, Canadian passport doesn't require a US visa on it. You just show the USCIS approval copy and Canadian passport at the land or air border to US CBP and they issue the I-94 and appropriate non-immigrant status like H1, L1, B1 etc., accordingly (just for clarity to others: no physical stamps now, but I meant I-94 online :) ).
In my case, I have a B1 on my current passport and I wont have enough time to have my passport surrendered. Also, I am just transiting through US to Mexico.
I am planning to submit the application once I get my Canadian passport and take a copy to show to the immigration officer that its in process.
Fatefully :( , this is my first travel after my NEXUS application got conditionally approved on my current passport. Not sure how that's gonna go. The Canadian interview is scheduled in November, however the US one, I believe happens at the post of entry.

Updated. Vancouver is a bit slow. So assume 6-8 more weeks for LPP and then oath soon after. In some cases they do LPP in background when test complete and background pending. In that case you might get it sooner. It happened for one person in June. If that happens maybe a month

They requested to print all my passport pages before they got the FP and my wife has BG done for a month, it may helps to be quicker ;)

Definitely positive movement if they ask the passport copy. Did you scan and send through web form or it was sent with fingerprints? Since you said it was printed

Cool. So it was not through web form. If my physical presence is not resolved in a month I'm thinking of sending it through web form
I sent a web form asking about the FP & the passport pages, I got confirmed that they got the passport pages. FP was pending and I got them now.

Yeah, Vancouver office seems to be a bit slow. My test was completed on Aug 28th and waiting since then for a month for any activity on LPP but nothing yet.
