It depends on where you are, what you're doing, and your chain of command. That is a question I would bring up with your CoC but unless you know when something is going to happen it's kind of hard to get permission to do something without a date/time/place/etc.

According to the CF Leave Policy manual, you should be able to get Compassionate Leave.  I had always thought that for the purposes of Compassionate Leave, it was only immediate family - but there's no definition in the manual so I suspect you should be able to get it with chain of command approval.

As far as Compassionate Travel Assistance (which is to assist you financially with travelling) goes, that applies only to a death in the member's or member's spouse's immediate family - child, parent or siblings.
