Hello there! I have a concern:

I am creating a profile for an Express Entry but got stuck in the question "Does Pedro have a relative who is a citizen or permanent resident of Canada?" My common-law wife is still a non-resident/non-PR of Canada but her son, who is 25 years old, is already a permanent resident of Canada. So my question: Is the son of my common-law wife be considered as my RELATIVE since I am the principal applicant? If yes, what document do I need to prove our relationship (me and my common-law wife's son). Hope someone can respond to this inquiry. Thank you so much!
