i am thinking of bringing my parents (mother and father ) to canada.
There seems to be a 3 year tax and income verification which I do seem to meet.
Other than this is there some special major obstacle in brining them here ? Is this a straight fwd procesa or its a lottery system ?
Also how long is the entire process considering my parents live in Pakistan.

The process will take 1-2 years once you are selected and apply.

Yes - you need to meet the minimum income requirements for three years in a row from a job in Canada to qualify.

There are a limited number of applications allowed each year and many people abut are not selected. This year these spots were given out through a lottery. You will have to wait until December to see if IRCC uses a lottery system again or another approach to select applicants. You'll then have to follow that process and hope you are selected.

It is very easy to meet the income requirements but the major challenge is that every year there will be over 100K qualified sponsors added to the pool but the quota is only 20K. Last year the application opened and closed in 7 minutes and over 100K people access the website during the time it was opened. The year before it was a lottery and the quota was only 10K where as over 100K people submitted the form so many people was not selected. It is the most competitive process in the world to get a spot to sponsor parents to Canada. Every year this is becoming more difficult as the pool of people competing will be more.
