No, your brother’s status in Canada does not directly benefit your Canadian student visa application.

Visa decisions are based on your own academic background, financial stability, and genuine intent to study. Having a sibling in Canada may help you settle in, but it does not influence the approval process.

Canadian immigration policies also do not allow siblings to sponsor each other for permanent residence, except in rare cases. Your brother’s experience can be helpful for your transition, but it does not affect your application outcome.
