MS degree + 18 months experience in the US.Plans of immigrating self and parents

[needimmhelp]

Hi,

Here is my situation:-

I have a B.E degree in CS, an MS in CS from a US university, and about 18 months of work experience in the US after graduation.
Presently Im working in India.

These are my questions:-

1. If I start the canadian Immigration process, how much time should I be looking at in terms of getting the PR.
2. My parents are currently retired. Can I sponsor them too along with my application or as soon as I land in Canada?


Please advise.


Thanks
