IMM 5532 part B question 2

[skai84]

I've searched high and low for clarification for filling out form IMM 5532 part B question 2 in regards to relatives living in Canada. I understand that the the official definition for a relative is being related by blood and that's clear in regards to aunts, uncles, cousins... in the immediate sense. My question lies with beyond that.

I have:
- Great aunt (my father's mother's sister)
- Her kids (my father's cousins)
- My mother's cousins (who were originally from the US and married Canadians)
- their kids (my second cousins?)

Would I have to list all of them? From whatever digging I managed to get info from, albeit for different forms and applications, they couldn't care less with this extended family tree and I just can't find any concrete answer in regards to that in this case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Yes. I had to list my cousins and their children but only the ones currently residing in canada... not the ones who were born in canada and currently live in the US

I understand listing cousins, but I'm asking in regards to my parents' cousins who live in Canada (two of which who were originally from the US) not my direct cousins.

Basically, do I list the relatives with whom I share my great-grandparents with that live in Canada?

My cousins 'children' are a similar degree of relatedness to my parents cousins... i know my 2nd cousins in england and if i had to list blood relatives there id include them but thats just me... you probably wont be penalised for missing them off but you definately wont be penalised for adding them so personally id choose the safety option

First cousins, yes. More distant than that, I wouldn't bother.
