Yeah, this is a bad scheme all the way around. As an employer of several foreign workers, I can say that you either need to go completely honest or do everything to hide it. If one of the parties can't or won't find a way to make this work, then you're SOL. However, the work rules for Canadians, especially in a case like this, are ususally a little more lax than they are for folks from the rest of the world. I'd see if she can apply to get a temporary work permit.
If your friend reports this as his income, it's potentially tax fraud, which is a very big deal. Whoever came up with this idea needs to go back to the drawing board.
