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.
