Did you already had H1b before, if yes first thing you need to do is to activate it by reaching out to your employer and then once its approved, you need to just carry i797 and your Canadian Passport to any port of entry and activate your Visa. If you never had a H1b before then you need to go through lottery that happens in April every year!

Thanks for swift experienced response. This will be my first attempt. The I need to get an employment offer or to apply through US Diversity Visa Lottery?
