Hi tomasmrsfg,
Pls see below:
Familial relationships
http://www.immigratemanitoba.com/apply-to-mpnp/mpnp-eligibility/mpnp-connection-support/#family
To be considered a close relative, a Manitoba Supporter must be related to the applicant (or the applicant’s spouse) in one of the following ways:
sister or brother
niece or nephew (ie. child of your sister or brother)
aunt or uncle (ie. brother or sister of your mother or father)
first cousin (ie. child of your aunt or uncle)
mother or father
grandmother or grandfather
Both applicant and supporter must provide documents proving their familial relationship.
You can indicate your relationship as close relative, since your spouse has direct link with the sponsors. Even if your brother in-law is the supporter and your the applicant, they will require you to provide the proof that your wife & brother in-law are (brother/sister).
Hope that clarifies thing. Thank you.
If you have children living in Manitoba, they cannot be a MPNP Manitoba Supporter because this situation is the jurisdiction of Citizenship and Immigration Canada under its Family Class immigration.

In our case our sponsor is my brother in law and principal is my husband so we indicate distant relative.
