According to http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/EG74.asp Basic proficiency is considered to be score of 4.0 to 4.9 on the IELTS

The link I gave you tells you which grade you need to pass to be considered basic, moderate or high. It also tells you if you are applying as a skilled worker how many points you get for each.

I think you need to have a basic ability to communicate in english. You need a total of 67 points to qualify. The maximum that you can fetch for english is 16. the link that has been posted is very good. Check it out. It have all the answers to your questions.

In the same link we already gave you, it says: If you claim to have language abilities on your application, you must provide conclusive proof of your level of proficiency. The keyword here is IF and that suggests that you could apply without claming any language skills.

Also the same page says this: Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) officers will not conduct an interview to assess your language skills. CIC will only use test results from organizations approved by CIC in assigning language points.

However, even if something is allowed, it might not be a good idea. How is your cousin going to live in Canada without knowing English or French? How is he going to find a job and work with people? How is he going to rent an apartment, get a drivers license, buy a car, buy a house, do his every day shopping, banking etc. etc.? He will be open to be cheated on his lease, in contracts to buy things, at his work.. He really should be taking english or french right now to prepare.

As far as I can see, it's not a requirement but who knows. Have the relatives in Canada call the immigration and ask.

I think it's more than saying it taking care of somebody who doesn't speak a word of the language. Do your relatives realize that they will have to go with him everywhere to take care of things for him because he doesn't speak? Can they give him a job too? Why does he not want to learn English?
