Becoming a Destitute Student to gain work experience as a caregiver.

[An0tika]

Hello! So I am an international student and there have been some situations that have caused me to have my undergraduate degree extended by two years. The funds my family had for my initial education plan will not cover this new development. I have two part time jobs as a Caregiver for September and beyond and was wondering if I should apply for an open work permit and become a destitute student due to my situation. My goal is to raise enough money for the remaining years of my education and to get my Permanent Residency Card.
What do you think?

How will becoming a destitute student help you? It doesn't count as experience but is for you to save money to return to school. Plus you need to be approved as a destitute student.

I’m an international student in Canada who is facing genuine financial hardship. My situation became difficult after my sister had to prematurely liquidate a Fixed Deposit in India (where I was the nominee) to pay for my mother’s cancer treatment. Those funds were originally meant to support my living expenses in Canada, and after the FD was released for medical emergencies, I no longer have enough money to continue supporting myself.
I also struggle to find stable part-time work.
Can anyone advise whether I’m eligible to apply for a Destitute Student Open Work Permit, and what steps or documents I should prepare for the application? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
