question asks if sponsor and i are relatives. If the sponsor is my fathers cousin, would i answer YES to being related to the sponsor. also can the sponsor being a relative delay the application or get it refused? whats the ruling regarding marrying a cousin and sponsoring them?

I believe you do state that you are related. Marrying your cousin (while uncommon) is legal in Canada. And if you come from a region where this practice is fairly common (like South Asia), then CIC is used to this and it should not delay your application.
