Just wondering if a distant relative provides accomendations and adability support, will the CIO consider that?
 
Not for adaptability 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) who is residing in
Canada and is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident."


When you ask, Will CIO consider that, do you mean consider for adaptability points? then NO (unless it is one of the relation described above).
 
Regarding the adaptability issue, I got my master from Canada, have been here since 2005 on study permit, have a girl born here, does this add adaptability points in my application?
 
From what little I know, I want to say yes but how would you prove that your daughter resides in Canada (even though it seems obvious that she should be with you). I guess a school report (if it has an address on it) could be one way. you should wait for someone else to reply.
 
But my daughter is only two now, she is residing with me, maybe I can prove that by providing a report from the family doctor as she has her record with her and regular visits . My other daughter is pr applicant (with me in my pr application) and she does attend Canadian school, so she does have a school report to prove it.
 
you need to prove the residence of the Canadian daughter. Well, you should wait for someone to answer if her age matters in such a case.
 
If she's not residing in Canada, I don't think you can get the points. Even if she was, well, maybe you would get the points but you see the idea of adaptability is that you have family support when you arrive in Canada. A minor child is not really going to offer you support if you have problems adapting.
 
She is residing with me, but as you said, maybe she is not offering me good points, however, I am having no problems in adapting, on the contrary, I am quite used to living in a Canadian society as I have been in Canada for four years now and I faced no problems in living as a member of it.
 
It is not a question of whether you are adaptable or not but rather are adaptable because of having relatives around.
Leon's argument is correct. They give points for relatives because it is assumed that relatives can help you in your immigration.

Just find out if you can add adaptability points for having a relative who is young.

You can, but the relative has to be resident in Canada
