I am a student on F1 visa with a valid I-20 (expiring in 2023), a valid I-94 and an expired visa stamp on the passport (expired on Jan 2021). I was planning on visiting Canada for a week next month (November 2021).

Could someone guide me on how the Auto-Revalidation Visa process works? Step by step would be appreciated (boarding from canada)

- Do I need to talk to any airline personal (air canada) before I book my tickets on what their policies are regarding auto visa revalidation? Just in case they dont allow me to board the flight from Canada.

- Once entered the US do I need to tell the officer that I am entering on AVR or just hand over my documents and let the officer do his thing?

Is there anything that I need to be worried about?

Appreciate any help, suggestions or recommendations.
