How long should i wait after i send DV? Next Step?

How long should i wait to possibly hear from the CA before moving to the next step? I was thinking a month?

 And what should be my next step.

There is no "next step". Thats the problem with DV'ing items - it puts the ball in their court and takes all control out of your hands.

You would first have to cancel your DV request, a DV places a cease communications until they do validate on them so its illegal for them to talk settlement or anything else with you. There is no timeframe that has to be followed by them to validate.

No. That would not be a correct assumtion. A DV does NOT require deletion of prior reporting. It only stops subsequent collection activities, i.e., they cannot "update" reporting or perform any other collection activities such as contacting you or sending bills. As I said before a DV takes control out of your hands and places it in theirs until such time as they choose to validate.

If i don't hear from them and i don't think the debt is mine since they haven't validated,  can dispute with CRA as a next step?

If a debt is genuinely "not yours" then it should be addressed using the ID Theft provision of FCRA.
