So we all are aware of the fact that you are allotted 5 points in EE for having a relative in Canada. The question is, which relatives are considered for this?
My mum's cousin lives in Toronto, can I benefit from that? Is there a list of relatives we can tally with?

Where do you read that?

Liberals promised during election for adding points for siblings, it hasn't happened yet.

There are no points for family members under EE.

Even if there were, your mother's cousin is too far removed.

Anyways, I could imagine that could be a far relative and wouldn't probably get me points but does anyone know which relatives could give you points?

Those aren't Express Entry points. They are Federal Skilled Worker points (different points system entirely). Again, there are no points for relatives under the Express Entry points system.
