Cousin Staying in Canada

[Adhi_N]

Hello Everyone ,
I'm taking my baby steps in the process of applying for a PR. Im seeking some relevant information on having a blood relative in Canada !
I have a cousin who's in Ontario and does he count as a blood relative stayung in Canada as per the guidelines ?!
Do I gain additional points ?
Also if I don't gain addioaddit points , does it help me if while applying for a PR or does it come in handy while applying for a job in a province ?
Any information on this would be really helpful and much appreciated.

If that cousin falls under following, then you can claim 5 points under FSW. But no points under Express Entry CRS.
