I have a US visa on my indian passport. Once I surrender the indian passport abd get Canadian passport, I'm assuming I just take both passports and say that i am canadian citizenship and show uscis copy? Don't think I need to do anything else. The Ibdian passport will be cancelled and can't be used for travel

I am assuming you have a Business/Travel (B) visa. That visa will not be required anymore to go to the US. In your first trip to US, you should carry all your old and new passports just to be safe. In general, a visa remains valid till the visa expiry date on a cancelled passport since visa is issued to an individual and not to a passport.

If you are moving to US with an H or L visa, you’ll only need to carry the new visa approval letter (I-797) with you along with the new passport.

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 :) ).

Do we need i94 stampings even with a Canadian passport? I thought Canadian citizens are exempt from i94 stampings at the borders? Did I get the wrong?

Good morning Everyone,
By the grace of the Almighty, I got in the tracker today October 11 as Scheduled for Oath. But I have not received any email. How many days does it take to get the email. Thank you

In my case the update to complete the LPP was made in August 28th and updated in August 30th, since that date still waiting for the Oath.

Sorry about that. That's a long wait. I'm sure you will get it very soon. I am processed by Montreal too. My test was marked complete sep 3. And language prohibitions completed on sep 13. Physical presence is still pending. When was your test marked as complete? Trying to find how long it took between test complete and lpp complete

@skonduru - You have sufficient time so don't have to reschedule oath.
If you have in-person oath, you would get the paper certificate right away during your ceremony. If it is virtual, you can let them know during your ceremony about your travel plan and they would prioritize and issue your e-certificate the same day.

With your certificate in hand you can walk-n the same day or next day to Passport office. They have urgent and express options. Urgent is for next business day and express is if you need it in 2-9 business days. Take your flight tickets and any other documents you have related to your travel (hotel bookings etc). They will issue the passport accordingly. Urgent is $110 extra and express is $50 extra on top of regular passport charges.

You can also request reschedule of your oath by replying to the oath invite email but it can unnecessarily delay your application, as some office reschedule within a week of return and few are waiting for months! Also note that re-schedule of oath is also at the discretion of the IRCC officer and they sometimes do not entertain such requests.

Thank you. I will have my flight tickets and hotel tickets by this weekend and will carry them for the passport. Appreciate your inputs.
