Default question about H1 b and canadian citizenship

Hi to all,
I am on H1 B visa currently working in Newyork. Recently, i got
canadian citizenship and my passport has changed. Do i have to get an
H1 B visa stamp on my passport while entering the U.S(as i am planning
to travel outside the U.S.)or my I-797 approval notice would be good
enough? From last 2 months i have been trying to find some information
regarding this subject matter but having no luck so far. If anyone has
any imformation regarding this please help me out.
thanks.

Perhaps you'd like to start your own thread instead of hijacking someone elses!

If you're reentering the US from the western hemisphere, you will need evidence of Canadian citizenship and the I-797 would be recommended. Coming from everywhere else you will need your valid Canadian passport and the I-797 would be recommended. You do not need an H1B visa stamp.

Be sure they issue you an I-94 when you return to the US and don't send you down the road as a Canadian visitor because then you can't work.
