Hi Balo
M afraid you cannot claim points for your nephews

Refer the OP6 below
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) who is residing in
Canada and is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

There is a problem.  OP6 says no, but the adaptability section at "who can apply" http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/factor-adaptability.asp  says yes.

"Relatives in Canada
You, or your accompanying spouse or common-law partner, have a relative (parent, grandparent, child, grandchild, child of a parent, sibling, child of a grandparent, aunt or uncle, or grandchild of a parent, niece or nephew) who is residing in Canada and is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.

Well I went to the regulations and here is what 83(5) says.

ull-time work in Canada under a work permit.

Family relationships in Canada
(5) For the purposes of paragraph (1)(d), a skilled worker shall be awarded 5 points if
(a) the skilled worker or the skilled worker's accompanying spouse or accompanying common-law partner is related by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption to a person who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada and who is
(i) their father or mother,
(ii) the father or mother of their father or mother,  (grandparents)
(iii) their child,
(iv) a child of their child, (grandchild)
(v) a child of their father or mother, (brother/sister)
(vi) a child of the father or mother of their father or mother, other than their father or mother, or (Aunt/Uncle)
(vii) a child of the child of their father or mother; or (Niece/Nephew)
(b) the skilled worker has a spouse or common-law partner who is not accompanying the skilled worker and is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident living in Canada.

But if you read the instruction guide http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/EG7.pdf  Page 6 it says that

"grandchild of a parent", (niece or nephew), is eligible for 5 points.

So OP 6 is wrong.

For PMM
Starting the paragraph you mention related "by blood". If my cousin or her child are permanent residents would I gain 5 points?
Please inform us.

No, cousins don't give you 5 points.

Hello again experts, so please clarify can I claim as Ravs and PMM information is quite contradicting based on what they have read.
Will the immigration grant me 5 points since I have nephews (2 sons of my older brother) in Canada with PR status, although they are below 21 yrs of age

Yes.
