It is very hard to tell you anything with just the information you have posted.
There are many factors to consider before deciding how to go to Canada.
Please read through the following pages carefully.
I hope you find the information you need.

1. visiting

If you wish to know more about applying for permanent residence through the family class (your brother), this information might be helpful.
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/relatives.asp

Please note that there are many specific requirements for this type of sponsorship:

Who can be sponsored
You can sponsor:
parents
grandparents
brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, granddaughters or grandsons who are orphaned, under 18 years of age and not married or in a common-law relationship
another relative of any age or relationship but only under specific conditions (see Note below)
accompanying relatives of the above (for example, spouse, partner and dependent children).

Note: you can sponsor one relative regardless of age or relationship only if you do not have a living spouse or common-law partner, conjugal partner, a son or daughter, parent, grandparent, sibling, uncle, aunt, nephew or niece who could be sponsored as a member of the family class, and you do not have any relative who is a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident or registered as an Indian under the Indian Act.

Who cannot be sponsored
Other relatives, such as brothers and sisters over 18, or adult independent children cannot be sponsored. However, if they apply to immigrate under the Skilled Worker Class, they may get extra points for adaptability for having a relative in Canada.



Another option is applying through the skilled workers class

If your brother is a PR or a Canadian citizen and lives in Alberta, Saskatchewan or Manitoba, it is possible that he could sponsor you under the provincial nominee program family stream as long as you both meet their requirements. You can find the provincial nominee programs here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/provincial/index.asp
