First you'll need to advertise the job for at least four weeks to prove that no Canadian could be found for the role. Once you have met the advertising requirement, you will need to apply for a Labour Market Opinion. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/employers/lmo-basics.asp

Once the LMO has been approved, your brother will be able to apply for a work permit.

They will have to see if they qualify to apply through one of the Federal programs (skilled worker or skilled trade) or one of the provincial nominee programs. It will help a great deal if they can obtain a permanent job offer in Canada.

Those are the most toughest things to work out.... thanks for taking time to reply me Scylla... I think I can only sponsor them for visitor visa to visit us for 6 months.
