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:

• 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.
