If the income of the employer is 50 to 55k, can he hire a foreign hsw in Ontario. The employer is alone and doesn't have any children.
Thank you all in advance.

The employer has to show that employer can afford a HSW/PSW. So if you are paid $19.50 an hour (based on where you live) that is $38k per year. This only leaves $12K for the employer’s expenses (rent, food, healthcare, medical, transportation) which is not a lot.

Is the 50/55K pre tax or post tax?

The wage is 18/hr in Ontario per the job bank website. Would like to know how much income before tax is sufficient to hire at 18$/hr

This seems to be a family who is trying to hire you. Do they have medical needs requiring a full-time caregiver? If you’ve already applied you should expect a refusal.
Yes employer has medical needs. I believe the ircc asks for 3years NOA plus he has additional personal savings.

How much is needed to qualify as per you.
There is no set amount but as I posted above. If he makes $42K after tax, he will want to almost double it. He needs to support himself and a full-time employee. He needs to determine what his annual living expenses are - rent/mortgage, food, utilities, medical expenses etc.

As already stated at least double depending on his expenses. If his expenses are high like rent it could be even more. The fact that you are a family member will place more scrutiny on whether this is a genuine application as well since others have used this program to sponsor family members but then the family members don’t actually work as HSW or Nannies for these families.

Is there anyone here who knows if any of their employer were asked for requirements, how much were the income? no. of family unit and were they approved. This will help for anyone to gauge if potential or even current application employer has a chance. Thank you in advance.
