Hello all,
I submitted my application for PR in Canada to the Buffalo Office.
I am in the US as a F-1 student.
I got my application returned to me.
It says "You must provide evidence that you have been lawfully admitted to USA for a period of at least one year."
The document wants me to submit
"Current or expired status documents indicating the date you were admitted and the validity of the documents(s) issued on that date."
I have no clue what kind of documents they want.
What documents should I submit?
Just to make it clear, I am a lawful F-1 student attending a university for many years in USA and have no legal troubles.
All my documents such as I-94 and I-20 are valid and bonafide.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Did you submit the copy of your Visa (with I-94 card) and copy of your current I-20? These are the documents they are looking for, I believe.

Hi There. Do not fret. The exact same thing happened to me TWICE before I finally lodged a successful application.
I too came as an F1 student.
Simply resubmit your application WITHOUT responding to their letter that says proof of lawful admittance for 1 year...etc
Resubmit your application fresh as you may have had an inexperienced processor initially. This time when you resubmit, make sure you include a copy of your I-20, the stamped I-94 card showing your status changed to F1, any F1-visa you have, as well as if possible, a letter from your International Students office saying that you are/were an international student at their school.
Then resubmit.. you will be successful. Good luck!!
PS - I tries to respond to explain that I was indeed admitted to the US for at least 1 year - per instructions but the file was returned again. SO I said dangit, and resubmitted a fresh application that had no signs of it being previously processed. I instead just re-submitted, but this time included a letter from the school.
