Regarding CRS Points

[avneteesh]

Hello,

I have a question regarding points for brother or sister:

Question: I have my cousin who is a Canadian Citizen. He is related to me as My Mother's own Sister's Son. Can I consider him for this particular scenario as my brother and count his in my CRS Score???

Thanks in advance. Waiting for your kind reply.



"Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?

Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:

• 18 years old or older
• related to you or your partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption
• have a parent in common with you or your partner

A brother or sister is related to you by:

• blood (biological)
• adoption
• marriage (step-brother or step-sister)"

A cousin is not a brother/sister. For a brother/sister, you need to have to have at least one parent in common, which is clearly stated in your quoted portion.
