brother of my wife who is living in alberta wants to sponsor us. his annual income this year is $42000. he meets the requirement of having $15000 in his bank account. we have 5 children. pls guide me if he can sponsor our big family of seven members. thanks

This is what the CIC homepage says:

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.

Ergo: Your family can be sponsored only if your wife is her brother's only living relative.

Also, I don't know where you got the figure of having $15000 i his bank account from. According to the LICO (low income cutoff) figures found here (page 71), he would need to make $63174 per annum to sponsor seven people.

first of all your brother can sponsor his parents. I don't think he'll have a chance to sponsor you all.

But does he have living parents?

Suggest you read: http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrate/familystreamfaqs.html re the Alberta Family Stream. As for the OP he/she should read the instructions that changed on 19/09/09 where the applicant (not the sponsor) has to show (in his case) $22,000. There are also changes regarding work experience.
