Can an international student on a PGWP become employed as a Caregiver or PSW?

[T365]

My friend is a Registered Nurse back home and is thinking of applying as an international student here in Canada. In the event that she is unable to find suitable employment to use in the Canadian Experience Class pathway to become a PR, can she apply and get a job as a Caregiver or PSW instead? And then with enough experience, apply to the HCCP/HSWP pathway?

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

Yes

Thank you for the feedback. Would you be able to shed more light please? Like how is the transition going to be from working as a Caregiver on PGWP into the HSWP pathway, if it is even possible?

You need an employer to give you a job offer. After completing two years on that job, you can file for HSW application with 2 years of Canadian work experience.

HCCP or HSW applications can be filed with zero experience...
Its clearly mentioned on Canada.ca website :

You need an employer in Canada who will give you a job offer (NON-LMIA)

Can you clarify when you say the job offer is non-LMIA? I thought job offers needed for HSWP/HCCP are LMIA?

Your thought is wrong.... HCCP and HSW job offers are non-LMIA based...
