If your spouse has been banned for 5 years then you are also banned for 5 years since you are married which means that you will not get your PR.

So it’s best to do a divorce?

Is it best to do a divorce? Or what option do I have

You can get a divorce but you can't simply remarry him again down the road and sponsor him.

Ok but would this affect his study applications to other countries

Yes lying about his work history and his 5 year ban could affect his visa approvals for other countries.

Not only would you have to divorce but you would also have to end the relationship between you completely. Otherwise, you will just be common-law partners instead. You would have to lead completely separate lives. I assume that this is not a problem for you, if you are putting your immigration status before your marriage.

Yes - you would need to get divorced. You may also have to prove to IRCC that you are really no longer in a relationship with your husband and haven't simply divorced him as a way of getting PR status.

Given you are pregnant, it may be quite difficult to convince IRCC that is the case.

As others have said, if you go down the divorce route, you'll never be able to sponsor him in the future - even if you get remarried.

To add to the other responses:

No idea.

Again, when was he banned? At least the month and year would help

You also need to see if you qualify for PR and apply soon because your PGWP ends in February.

OP's PR application will be refused under the present circumstances as she is a family member of an inadmissible person.

She would need to tell us when he was banned for any further advice
