Dear Karen,
Have you tried finding him or his brother on the 1911 census (Canada only has a 92y closed period) - they might be on the 1906 too, but 1906 only covered the prairie provinces. The search gateway is http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/index.jsp
You can also access the census via
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/index-e.html The census link here has a further link to ArchiviaNet - the online help there describes the census process, etc. There's an alternative link at ArchiviaNet which will get you to the census images, but there's only a geographical index, not a nominal one. (The automatedgenealogy search tells you the district, etc of your hit, and also gives a transcription, and from there you can (split) view the original image. Using the district, etc you can also find the original image on ArchiviaNet, and also view the neighbouring pages.) The 1911 census gives name, birth month and birth year (and you can use these in your search) - it also gives province/country of birth + year immig to Canada + other UK-like stuff.
Hopefully, this will clear up the question of which brother was there - for a 1906 immigrant from SCT, the most likely destination is ONT or the prairies.
On the SCT side, the easiest way would be to find them on the 1891 census, and get hold of John's b or m rego - his marr rego will normally give the father's name and the mother's MS=maiden surname for both bride and groom. These won't be free - they cost about a pound each, but the searching will also cost something - the credits are only sold in 6 pound blocks @ ScotlandsPeople, and you don't want the expensive certified copy of the registry enter, but the more reasonably priced uncertified image of the registry entry. Since you knew John's dob, I'm guessing you already knew the info in this para, but just in case...
