Sibling points

[Srmin]

Hi,
I claimed 15 points adding my cousin brother as sibling. Now I received ITA as my score is 439. But recently I came to understand that cousin brother's ( mother's sister's son) point won't hold. What should I do at this point? Please help.

hi!
I am on a work permit and will be eligible to apply pr within 2months. my brother-in-law( my sister's husband) is waiting for his PPR request.
my question is once he gets his COPR and he lands in Canada can I gain 15 points for a sibling?
In simple terms, can I gain 15 points from a brother-in-law(sister's husband)? my sister is not yet added to his profile( they recently got married).

No. Has to be your sibling, not an in-law.

even after my sister is added to his profile?

It has to be your siblings. Your sister would need to have PR and be living in Canada
