Oath in Canada, apply Canadian passport in USA on H1B

[ArunV]

Hi, I am going to take Canadian citizenship soon. My plan is - I am currently in USA on H1B with Indian passport. When my oath ceremony date comes, I will go to Canada and take oath and travel back to USA with Indian passport on H1B next day (As I will not get 1 week leave from my job). Later I will apply the Canadian Passport in USA, surrender Indian passport in USA and continue to work in USA on H1B status. Later I will use Canadian passport exist and reentry. Has anybody tried this option? or any risk expected?

In this case, after getting Canadian passport do we need to go to border and get H1b stamping on Canadian passport?

Did either of you report to CIC that you’ll be leaving Canada post submitting our application? It states on their website to notify if leaving for more than 2 weeks.
