In my experiece the only thing that this man could potentially claim is a percentage of your wealth and earnings accrued after you were married.
since you ouwned your house before the marriage, he has no claim againnt it and will likely get nothing there. As far as your inheritances - he has no claims to those either.
The only way he could get those things is if you granted those things in the prenup, ( althought it sounds as if you did not).
He has a very good argument for not understanding the prenup and for that reason it could get set aside but nevertheless - as for your really importatnt assets - the house and inheritance - you area likely protected.
You may have to pay some alimony or a lump sum settlement - based on ernings since the marriage and pension earned during that time - depending on the specifics of Canadian law.
