Dear All,

I have a small question. I am applying for express entry. I and my wife (Citizen) live in Canada. Her brother is a Canadian Citizen. As my wife is already in Canada and not going to accompany me, will I get 15 points for Sibling for her brother?
In the questionnaire, when they ask about my relative in Canada, I am not seeing any option for Brother-in-Law, should I choose Brother though he is my brother-in-law? Or I am not eligible to get 15 points.

I think you can claim points only if he is your sibling. So in this case you will not be awarded points.

I dont know what other guys are smoking,

but you will definitely get 15 points for your wife's brother.

Incorrect. The points can only be claimed if the wife is accompanying in the application. Since the wife is a citizen she cannot be accompanying in the application so no points.
I just calculated the points under CRS tool. So, does that mean tool is not correct?

No - it means you gave an incorrect answer to one of the questions in the tool.
