Points for Spouce relative in Canada!

[talcan]

I request senior members of the group to advice me on the following query:

One of the aunt of my wife is a canadian citizen. Family tree is as followed:

MY wife's aunt and my wife's mother share same mother - that actually means that they are step sisters. Can we mention the same in our express entry application? Will it be of any use in getting CRS points - while we submit the express entry application?

Kindly suggest. Thanks for your help.

You do not get any CRS points for Canadian relatives, but you get 5 points for adaptability under FSW 67 points assessment. Check this link to know more http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-factors.asp

Agreed. No CRS points for family in Canada.

As stated above, no CRS points.

But just a point of clarification: if your wife's aunt and mother have the same mother, but different fathers, they are half-sisters, not step-sisters. Step-sisters means that they are related by marriage only, not blood.

Thanks everyone for your inputs!
Do we still be able to get any advantage by declaring the above relation in our express entry application?
Btw, my wife already wrote IELTS and we will be claiming points for it.
Kindly suggest - what should we do? Thanks for your help.

The answer, really, is still no.

It will contribute to your eligibility for the program, but it won't increase your CRS.

It depends on whether or not you want to apply under the FSW scheme. If not, then the above relationship does not provide an advantage.

If yes, calculate your FSW score with and without the relationship noted. If you have 67 points or more without declaring the relationship, leave it out.

Yes, it is not adding any more points. Moreover, we are scoring FSW points (67+) without declaring the relationship. As I mentioned earlier, my wife already wrote IELTS and we are able to claim points for it.

On this note, I think it is better NOT to declare - as it is not giving any extra advantage.

Thanks again for your timely response.
