I am in Canada myself, and I already have a job and a maple leaf card. Now I want my parents to immigrate. Is it easy? How long will it take?

Five years should be fast. I heard that parents usually take 7- 10 years. The premise is that there is an annual tax bill with sufficient income, and there are specific requirements on the cic website of the Immigration Bureau.

In addition, in the process of submitting an immigration application, it seems that you can't apply for any visa, because one of the reasons for refusing a visa is immigration. One of the questions in the visa application form is whether you have applied for immigration. I don't know how big the specific impact is. Parents can apply for a visa before emigration. My friend's parents gave me a round-trip tourist visa for more than five years. It is safer to go through immigration formalities after getting the visa.
