To show enough income for sponsoring parents, I wanted to include universal child care benefit, Canada child tax benefit and now Canada child benefit. My wife will be co-signer and the child benefits are given to her. My questions are,
1) can I include these child benefits in income for sponsoring parents?
2) for UCCB we can show notice of assessment to show amount given but which documents can we show for other two benefits?
13.B: Other income
Calculate income that you received from other sources. Use the following definitions:
Net rental income: net income earned (or loss incurred) and reported to CRA from rental property.
Investment and interest income: income reported to and accepted by CRA from dividend payments, interest, stocks, bonds and other investments and, interest on savings deposits.
Pension income: income from Old Age Security, Canada/Quebec Pension Plan, other pensions, superannuation and annuity payments from Canadian sources. Do not include Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) payments.
Maternity/parental/sickness benefits: maternity, parental and sickness benefits paid under the Employment Insurance Act are considered income. Other payments such as employment insurance and federal training allowances are not considered as income.
Other sources of income: include income you have received and will continue to receive on a regular basis that is not included above (e.g. spousal, child support). Specify the source of the income on the form.
You cannot include provincial instruction and training allowances, social assistance, child tax benefits, guaranteed income supplement or employment insurance payments.

I have been searching for the answer as well for months before I send my application. Some says NO, some YES, some just posted what's on cic website reference under other income which is to me is still a puzzle at that time. I sent my application anyways which included UCCB and it was approved. Only UCCB I believe can be included because it was taxable, only for the year 2015. There is no UCCB for 2016 onwards as they already changed it to Canada Child Tax Benefit which is NOT taxable and can not be included in the income.
