Can I claim EIC and Child Tax Credit? My legal status is F1 student. I am a resident alien for tax purpose. I have a qualified dependent.

I have lived in the U.S. for more than 5 calendar years. I can be treated as a resident alien for tax purpose. My qualified child lived with me for the whole year. I used Turbo tax software and it said that I could claim EIC and child tax credit. But I am not sure because my truly legal status is F1 student neither a citizen nor a permanent resident.
