Canadian needs to have the license.

Dear Colleges, my story is that I passed all the required exams&internship for the license, however, I contacted the board and they said that I must meet the residency requirement to be able to get the actual license, however, me being Canadian, I do not know how to continue, as I also had limited information once I contacted the board, the requirement is:

Be a nonimmigrant lawfully present in the United States who is eligible for a credential under the UCA.

If anyone can help me with more...
