Long story short - the PR process calls for divorce certificates for prior marriages. In Texas where my husband was divorced, they do not produce divorce certificates - only divorce decrees, which highlight all details of the divorce in full.
In his divorce decree, he stated that he was working in Canada as a self-employed trainer for a period of two months, and that he made $500 and $300 Canadian dollars during this time (he is a former NBA player). He does not have a work permit. Since he found out he needed one to train children for compensation, he has stopped. He told the border service agents he was training kids in Canada, and they let him in anyhow without a work permit. He is no longer doing this as we want to comply with the law in full, but did during November and December.
We want to submit the divorce decree in full and do not want to hide any information from the IRCC when submitting his PR application. We willy simply highlight the key points of the decree that state he is divorced and hope the full 31-page document is not read.
We have always intended to be fully transparent and follow the law. Is it likely that applying for PR will trigger him to be deported or given an exclusion order because he trained grade-school children in Canada for a meager income for a two month period, and stopped when he found out he was not allowed?
Our first baby is due this June, so we are very worried about our family being separated based on our ignorance of the law, as we did not conclude that him training children on his own accord would be deemed as working illegally in Canada.
