No.

You can only claim for below:

Relatives in Canada
You, or, if it applies, your spouse or common-law partner, have a relative, either a

parent,
grandparent,
child,
grandchild,
child of a parent (sibling),
child of a grandparent (aunt or uncle), or
grandchild of a parent (niece or nephew), who is
living in Canada
18 years or older and
a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Thanks for quick response. .

But she is my wife's real sister and one of the my friends with same situation already claimed and got PR in old fsw system.

I think in this case, if your wife is the first applicant, then you may claim points for a relative as her sister in Canada is her sibling.

There is no points for relative in Canada under EE . So u mention her or not , it doesn matter ur getting big zero for relative in Canada ..

Ho papajhones,

Do you have any link to get the clear idea.

That's true. Having a relative in Canada helps you get 5 points in FSW criteria to get 67 points but in no way increase your express entry score.

You'll get 5 points only if your wife's primary applicant

Ok...So this criteria is applicable on FSW and not EE.

Thnx for bringing it to my notice.

it does not give you/raise your CRS points (ee profile)

but on the FSW six selection factors under ADAPTABILITY
it will give you 5 points even if you wife is not the principal.

Relatives in Canada
You, or, if it applies, your spouse or common-law partner, have a relative, either a
Adaptability Maximum 10 points
parent,
grandparent,
child,
grandchild,
child of a parent (sibling),
child of a grandparent (aunt or uncle), or
grandchild of a parent (niece or nephew), who is

she is your wife and you are legally married I assume

so you get 5 points out of the 100 FSW point system

hope this clears out the confusion

it is a non factor on CRS but

YES he will get 5 points even if wife is not the principal. stop confusing him lol

what is written on the CIC website is basicallly self explanatory
