Is a first cousin considered a relative in Canada?, the forms just show Brothers/Sisters, Mother/Father etc.
Can we answer yes this question and then explain in a separate sheet that is a cousin?.
Cousin is a relative of you, but unfortunatly is not applicable to grant you the 5 adaptability points as per CIC.
Only the following relatives can give you the points:
d) Relatives in Canada:
• Award five points if the applicant or accompanying spouse or common- law
partner has a relative:
parent,
grandparent,
child,
grandchild,
child of a parent,
child of a grandparent,
or grandchild of a parent
brother, sister,
aunt, uncle, or
niece, nephew
Who is residing in
Canada and is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
