If I may ask, did you sever ties with Canada tax purposes after moving to the US for the tax year you applied for citizenship which I’m guessing is 2023.Hi all, does anyone have an experience where while their Canadian citizenship application is in progress, move to the US? Did they grant citizenship while in the US? Right now the test and ceremony are all online so there is really no difference if I am in Canada or US. I have a work opportunity to move by I am afraid my application will get too long or even be denied, could anyone please share if you have a similar experience? Really appreciate it ...
Hi - I will be in same boat in next 3-4 weeks. Question is- were you able to get your Canadian passport through urgent (next day pickup) processing and what travel proof did you present? Also- were you able to update citizenship on Nexus card through their website or do we actually have to reapply for Nexus?I got my Canadian PP 5 days ago. Successfully I was able to enter USA with old H1B and Canadian passport. My H1B is approved with Indian Citizenship. Welcome to answer any question you have.
I didn’t show my Indian passport, didn’t mention to officer that I changed my nationality. Simply showed Canada passport and I797 copy and told that I am going to work in USA on H1B. He approved it without asking any question
Hi- I am in the same boat and have the Canadian passport and H1B stamp and i94 slip on Indian passport. I don’t have the original i797 approval notice and I just have the photocopy of it. Will the photocopy of i797 work along with Canadian passport?I got my Canadian PP 5 days ago. Successfully I was able to enter USA with old H1B and Canadian passport. My H1B is approved with Indian Citizenship. Welcome to answer any question you have.

I was able to enter on Canadian passport although my stamping was on Indian passport.I entered 1st time to usa on work visa.I did not show him my Indian passport just my i797 document he put small stamp on Canadian passport with visa and visa expiry date.@Murthy2222 - Wondering if you were able to enter USA on your Canadian passport and i797/H1B (issued based on Indian citizenship)?

@Anpman - Thank you for the prompt response. Did you had to inform the officer at POE that your citizenship has changed or did you do any further processing to update your records with USCIS after you entered USA? Was your I-94 tagged to the Canadian passport? Also, when you said "you entered 1st time to usa on work visa" do you mean you mean you used the i797(H1b Approval notice granted based on Indian citizenship) and Canadian passport to enter USA for the first time and you did not enter using this visa previously or never been to USA? Please advise.I was able to enter on Canadian passport although my stamping was on Indian passport.I entered 1st time to usa on work visa.I did not show him my Indian passport just my i797 document he put small stamp on Canadian passport with visa and visa expiry date.
I did not informed officer that my citizenship has changed and yes it was my 1st entry on work visa to usa so I just showed Canadian passport and i797 document based on Indian passport.my I 94 is tagged to Canadian passport per i94 website.I did not showed my Indian passport at all to officer .@Anpman - Thank you for the prompt response.

@Anpman - Thank you for your quick response, really appreciate it. Do you by any chance know if for a similar situation(having Canadian passport but I1797+H1B visa stamped on Indian passport) how to proceed in the POE if it is not the 1st entry on that same H1B i.e. the person has stayed in USA on that H1B and I94 was issue against the Indian passport?I did not informed officer that my citizenship has changed and yes it was my 1st entry on work visa to usa so I just showed Canadian passport and i797 document based on Indian passport.my I 94 is tagged to Canadian passport per i94 website.I did not showed my Indian passport at all to officer .
