You need to get an Alberta WIN card first, then your brother has to get a hunter host licence which includes your WIN identification number.
Then you can buy your own non-draw licences.
from http://www.albertaregulations.ca/
All hunters must have a Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) as a prerequisite to applying for, or purchasing any hunting licence.
Non-resident and non-resident alien hunters (12 years of age or older) are exempt from the first-time hunter eligibility requirement if they are accompanied by a Hunter Host or a Designated Guide while hunting in Alberta.
Wildlife Identification Number (WIN)
Hunters and anglers in Alberta must possess a 10-digit Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) before applying for or purchasing any licence or wildlife certificate. The WiN can be purchased for $8.00 and is valid for five years
If you are purchasing a WIN for the first time you can purchase one online at albertarelm.com or at a licence issuer. The licence issuer gives you a paper receipt (which includes your new number) allowing you to purchase licences immediately. Your plastic card will be mailed to you within a few weeks.
If you have any questions about the WIN or the licensing system, please contact the RELM Call Centre, toll-free in North America, at 1-888-944-5494.

Return to a private licence issuer with your licence and have it amended. Once you have purchased your Hunter Host Licence, the hunters may purchase their licences.
Then you can buy your own non-draw licences.

Okay, since Norton posted the pertinent part of the regs, here is a question that I can not find the answer to.
Let's say that a non-resident gets drawn for a special license with a resident, as you have to put in your draw application with a resident in a group hunt so you automatically both get drawn. Once drawn, does the non-resident have to hunt with the associated resident? Or could a different AB resident host the hunter on their license??
I have a non-res friend who has 3 more years of priority than me on antelope and could get drawn next year, but I will not get drawn for at least another 2 or 3. I would like to find someone who could get drawn to apply with him, but do not want his trip to be reliant upon someone else's ability to match their holidays/hunting time to his.
Opinions?

The LOWEST priority of the group is the one that is drawn or not. So if you entered the draws with me with a priority 3 and i had 7, we would be entered as a "3" and MY chances of being drawn would drastically decrease.
He needs to enter with a resident with a priority equal to or higher than his to stand the best chance of being drawn in most zones.

Interesting question. Best answered by the officer in Edmonton responcible for sorting out things like that. Once you find out the answer come on here again and let us lnow. I have some priority for trophy antelope and archery antelope. If it works out the way you hope it does I wouldn't mind your friend putting in with my application.
HAve a good one!
