You are correct. The SINP definition of a close relative includes cousins. However, the in-laws of the same relationship category only includes spouses, common-law partners, and dependent children. Therefore, the husband would not be eligible to immigrate to Canada under the SINP in-laws of the...

Hi! I understand your situation. It can be frustrating to have to wait 5 months for your work permit to be processed, especially if you need to work and pay rent in the meantime. However, I would advise you to carefully consider the risks associated with flagpoling before you make a decision...
