Relative points query

[shivatsprajapati]

One of my cousin sister living in canada with her family. Now my wife will think to immigrate under federal program. so can my wife get 5 points for relative point of view?

If the relative is a cousin - then no, you won't get any points.

Here's the rule:

You or, if applicable, your accompanying spouse or common-law partner has a relative, i.e. parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, brother/sister, aunt/uncle or niece/nephew, who is 18 years of age or older as of the date we receive your application, and who is a Canadian citizen of permanent resident residing in Canada.
