In majority of cases, there's no such thing as "sponsoring" for a TRV. Your birth mother will have to qualify on her own merits, and if your brother is over 21 years old, he will have to qualify on his own as well.

Any support that you may offer or demonstrate for them will only be supplementary.

Thanks for your reply. When I said"sponsor". I meant sending them a invitation letter to attend a marriage. because i have a step mother and a step brother as well. So that's what am asking do I qualify to send them an invite?

Sure, you can send them an invite, even friends and business colleagues can send invites, but what I said earlier still applies. The invite is only a supplementary document.

Your brother is a fresh graduate without any work and presumably no travel history to visa-required countries. The odds of him getting approved are definitely slim, but you never know until you try.

Here is one recent success story with a similar case, although the applicant was still in school: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/visitor-visa-for-fiancees-brother-for-our-wedding-philippines.496545/

Please research around this forum for other similar cases, but honestly, it's going to be difficult for him.

I’m positive you would be required to submit a translated version of the documents if you wish this to be considered for the application, but I’m not sure if it has to be certified or notarized.

Hey Could you please help with the document checklist that you used for brother application which got him accepted, i am in similar situation as you were and my borthers visa has been rejected before for not enough reason for his visit here. Now that i have solid reason of my marriage i want to reapply and iron out all the options.
