Applying for TN visa while pending H1B

Hello Guys, I am new here and would like opinions of you guys on my visa status. I am a Canadian citizen.

First of all, let me explain my situation right now.
1) I am under H1B for non-for-profit job ending in 6/30/16.
2) My lottery for H1B have been picked. However, USCIS is requesting further evidence by asking me to either show that I can legally stay til my new H1B start date of 10/1/16 OR let them know which US consulate I would like to have interview (but AFAIK, Canadian citizens don't need to go through consulate for visa interview)
3) My work starts on July.

So, my question is, can I respond to RFE saying that I will leave US on 6/30/16?
Also, can I get TN status to start working from 7/1/16 and COS from 10/1/16 to H1B while waiting to hear back from USCIS? Will this be alright?

Thank you!
