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.
