Hi soj
The main reason should be the following: since he has a canadian
sister-in-law (Am I OK?) this relationship does not apply.
take a look
"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."
I did copy the last note from:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/skilled/qual-5-5.htmlin my case it was almost the same bercause of my sister-in-law (canadian citizen), but I got points from my "nieces" not from her.
