Just be honest. You are not required to provide work certificates for spousal sponsorship. If he is questioned about it, he can advise that he worked "under the table". The most important thing is that he is COMPLETELY honest in his background declaration.
are you sure that Canadian government will have no problem with it? because they might think that if he worked in ukraine under the table then he will work in canada as well... its not that he wanted to work under the table, but he really had no choice, it eather work like that or not at all, its difficalt to get job there were they would register their emploeers,
Thanks
Thanks

I'm sure they've encountered it before if it is as common as you say 
It will look much worse on you if you are dishonest than if you admit that he did under the table work.

Just list his job on the job history. You do not have to provide any documentation from his employer - just list the job, address, etc. At the interview they may ask about his job. He can tell them what he did for his work; unless they ask specifically he does not have to say he was working 'under the table'. In any case, the visa officers should understand the conditions of the country they are working in and won't be surprised.
As other people have said, be honest. Include the job in his job history; if asked directly, 'was it under the table?', admit it.
Also keep in mind the visa officer who interviews your husband will be more concerned about whether you and he have a genuine relationship. If you don't list his current job, the visa officer will think 'hmmm, he's unemployed. Maybe he won't want to work in Canada either. Or maybe he only wants to come to Canada to make more money.'
