A proper quarantine is more than a separate room and bathroom. If your room is right beside each other there is likely shared ventilation and when the door is opening to get food then you are exposing yourself. A true quarantine would be in a separate area of a home like a basement.
Don't think you are going to push IRCC to approve your application by booking your travel. All you may do is lose your own money.
Given that you have a family it likely isn't feasible to quarantine with his family unless you are able to remain in a basement that has a bathroom and you are left food outside your door. I think that your brother and his family leaving their home is the best idea.
You will need a separate bedroom and washroom. For a true quarantine you should not go into a communal hallway to access the washroom. Also your bedroom and bathroom should preferably be away from where he is staying unless he is willing to remain quarantined with you for 14 days. He will need to leave food at your door since you are not allowed to leave your room.
That is what my arrangement is, I have a separate room and bathroom .He will leave my food at the door.
Same case with you, I called them and i received an extension via an automatic reply. I think that we are not exempted from travel restrictions.
Make sure to have a two meter long stick with you to keep your friend at suitable distance at your quarantine stay. JK

I am based in Tunisia, to note that I had received a notification that my CoPR is ready before 18 march, but it was issued on 20 may due to COVID.
And this is in an ideal medical case quarantine. However, the immigrations has mentioned in their website about dos and dont and shared spaces are allowed with few restrictions.For your reference.im pasting it here.
