1. She would require an employer in Canada to obtain a Labour Market Opinion from HRSDC that there are no Canadians/Permanent Residents available for the job. The have to advertise it on the national job bank for 2 weeks, and wages must be average for the area. They also have to provide information to HRSDC why the CC/PRs who applied were not qualified. If the LMO is positive, then she could apply for a Work Permit.
2. The SWAP work holiday visa is only available to US citizens in the US.
