Student visa for Nursing student

For Canada, nowadays the points are running above 440. Recently it has been very high. Second, with 3 years BSN, the university won't accept at Masters level. She will have to enroll in undergraduate program again (although some credit might be transferred depending on the university, so take it to be 3 years to complete bachelors again). Nursing is not under Stem so she only gets 1 year opt after graduating and H1B is also very difficult as most hospitals don't want to sponser (and also have to deal with uncertainty of getting the lottery). I don't believe the Indian story as RN are taken very seriously here, you have to take RN for sure ( I know people who did but they had come here with 4 year BSN and with green card so no visa issue). I think going to Canada even on student visa seems like a much better deal than coming to US.
