Automatic Visa Revalidation - US F1 CPT (Travelling to Canada for Soft Landing and coming back within 30 days)

[12mkv]

Hey,

I am on a F1 Visa working in the US on CPT. This is my 3rd Masters.
1. 2017-2019 (Original F1 with Stem OPT) - Expired & this is the stamp on my passport
2. 2022 May - 2023 Dec : Masters # 2 with F1 CPT I20
3. 2024 Jan - 2025 Dec : Masters # 3 with F1 CPT I20

I Have my i94 and my current i20 with CPT authorization.
Wanted to see if Automatic Visa revalidation applies to me and is doable. Will be travelling for less than a week to toronto and back to Boston.

This is more of a Canadian immigration forum, Better to check on US immigration forums like trackkit. But at the end, my best bet would be to check with an attorney.

Holy cow!!!!......might well have gone for Phd, atleast would have a shot at Eb1. In general I want to say yes, AVR would work, but do ask a lawyer. For the subsequent Masters do you have new F1 stamping? Then AVR is most certain.
