Hi Rakshiruby.
Congratulations!
I am in a similar situation. However my H1B has not been stamped and I am not able to get any appointments.
My copr expires in September. Can I reenter Canada on my H1B approval notice?

Hi there, did you do your landing on Peace Bridge or Rainbow Bridge? What was your experience? Was it smooth? I'm reading that online that only if one reaches either of these two Bridges before 8 am then their PR landing process is completed by Border officials. Is that true?
