Hi fishes,
I got interviewed for CGI , CGI Communications Inc, 2nd February- technical round and 7th February- Managerial round. Till now, I didn't get any update from HR team. I tried calling Hr and dropped mails about the status. But she is not picking calls or replying to my mails. I tried calling the the person who setup L1 interview, she told I was not selected. What should I consider now, is my candidature on hold or should I think I got Rejected without any confirmation from HR team.

Well the I-129 petition needs to be approved first. Make sure it’s filed with premium processing to get a decision in 15 calendar days. Or it will take months for a response.
Once approved, you can show up at the border or airport to enter the US. Canadians do not need an L-1 visa to enter the U.S.
None of this includes time needed to prepare the petition. L-1s are complex so attorneys need time to prepare the petition.

Nope. Not what I said.
To get an L-1, you must have an approved L-1 petition. That’s done through form I-129. Once that is approved, then you can seek to enter the U.S. as an L-1B worker.
A petition is not a visa. A visa is merely a document to enter the U.S. A petition approval notice is not a visa. It merely establishes that you are qualified to work as an L-1B employee of your petitioning company. Canadians do not need a visa to enter the United States but they still need to have an approved petition, just like everyone else.
