Probably look at getting a bank loan

Government isn’t going to give you money for this

Spousal sponsorship is not complicated and you can do yourself.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children.html

All forms and info are there. If you can't afford the govt fees for this, you can't afford to sponsor your spouse.

But...would your government really pay for legal assistance for something like this? Really?

If you're a british national why did you say you are a canadian citizen above?

I've lots of friends who've had to deal with spouse sponsorship and similar in UK and they paint a radically different picture than what you've stated here, so I call "not very likely." (I think the brits say 'not bloody likely.')

Even if it were true - that's a different country. Have your citizen brother get informed about the country where he lives.

There are options like this in Canada where a solicitor is necessary, such as for certain legal / criminal situations.

A solicitor is completely unnecessary to apply for spousal sponsorship. The majority of people apply on their own. This is what your brother should do. All of the information to apply can be easily accessed on the IRCC website.

What’s your point ?

He’s in Canada . Canadian citizen

Other countries procedures, correct me if I’m wrong , are irrelevant

That's what you wrote in your first post:

"Hello members

I call BS here, or "I got this"

Pretty sure immigration cases, except asylum seekers, wouldn’t pass assessment for free legal support in the UK either. Your brother will need to show he can support him family in Canada so if 5k is an issue I hope that is because he needs savings for when his spouse arrives.
