First-time H1B stamp after 9 years of stay in USA

I am from India and I came to USA around 10 years back on F1 visa for my MS in Mechanical engineering. Then I started working in software, then moved to full-time MBA and then started working in Finance on H1B again. In all these years, apart from initial visa stamp, I got F1 visa stamp in 2012 but never H1B visa stamp. So, quite a few changes in the last 10 years but never have I gotten an H1B visa stamp.

Now my employer wants to file my green card soon. I would like to get my H1B visa stamp in the next year or so. Is it better that I get my H1B visa stamp before my green card application is sent to USCIS and if yes, whether I should go to India or Canada? I would prefer to go to Canada.

If no, should I expect some trouble when I will travel to India and get my H1B visa stamp (in a few months)? I am worried because H1B is sort of against intent to immigrate but green card application is the opposite. Thank you very much for your advice in advance.
