I'd negotiate with dad to have him help her come over, pretend everything is hunky dory if need be, get a job nearby, rent an apartment etc and set up life over there, maybe, with a little work they can rebuild the relationship, which is best for the kids, if not its Australia, not Iraq, there are worse places to live.
If you have kids with non Canadians there are things you have to accept and embrace, staying together in a less than ideal marriage and moving to another country being high on that list.

Her moving there to work, especially now that she is separated, will be hard. The kids might be clueless, but all of the relationship stuff has to be declared to immigration and is taken into account when the visa application is done. Suggesting that the husband lie to immigration is suggesting that they both commit a crime, she would most likely get tossed, probably for good and he would get a bunch of #### too.
The previous exclusion order because of the last overstay doesn't help matters (she will probably face more scrutiny now) and it is pretty clear there are no funds available to support a long term tourist visa application (which she couldn't work under either).
