Hi
Can I get 15 points by my step brother in express entry program? It's not my half brother and we don't have a common parents. Actually we have a common step parent. I mean his father is my step-father and we have different mother.
It seems hat there is a discrepancy in below text: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp 10) Do you or your spouse or common law partner (if they will come with you to Canada) have at least one brother or sister living in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident?
Note: to answer yes, the brother or sister must be:
18 years old or older
related to you or your partner by blood, marriage, common-law partnership or adoption
have a parent in common with you or your partner
A brother or sister is related to you by:
blood (biological)
adoption
marriage (step-brother or step-sister)
There are discrepancy between "have a parents in common" and "step-brother or step-sister".

There is no discrepancy. Step-brothers and step-sisters are accepted if you have one parent in common. Since you have no parents in common with your step-brother, you don't qualify for the 15 points.

Interesting. It is impossible for step-siblings to have a biological parent in common. And yet, step-siblings are specifically listed, along with a relationship by marriage being accepted. This leads me to believe that IRCC is not just referring to a biological parent in common but also a parent in common by marriage, i.e. your step-father, and therefore you would qualify for the points.
Step sibling relationship could either be through blood or through marriage as per the definition. The condition though is that the parents should be together at the time of application. I believe OP can claim points for the step-brother. In fact I’m helping by hubby’s step sister (through marriage and no biological connection) apply and claim the 15 points.
For proof of relationship, we provided marriage certificate between my hubby’s dad and his current wife ( sis’ mom), hubby’s birth cert ( with his dad’s name on it) and sis’ birth cert ( with her mom’s name on it). We will see how it goes.

Thank you for your guidance. I agree with you and I think it should be OK. But I'm not sure. How can I make sure about it !!? It's critical point for me and without it I will not qualify for express entry program. Actually without it trying for express entry program is just wasting time for me.

If your parents are married and his biological father is your step-father and currently married with your biological mother, you can claim points for him.
