Can the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) be counted as income for a parent's super visa?

I am a Canadian citizen and want to apply for a super visa for my parents. My income is below the required level. However, my spouse receives the Canada Child Benefit (CCB), and if we consider it (I know, for example, that it is considered as income when buying a house), my income would be sufficient for the super visa for my parents. But I can't find any information on whether the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) can be considered as family income. Has anyone used it for this purpose?

You say your income is sufficient in one sentence but say it is below in another. CBB is not income. It is not taxable so not counted. Your NOA for you and your spouse will show your income.
