See information here. No authorization letter required but there are some other requirements you need to read through.

So parents only need 3 things :-
1 Return ticket ( proof of staying longer than 15 days)
2. My Canadian citizen proof
3. Relationship with me ( to prove immediate family member )

Valid visa and passport obviously

And NEGATIVE covid report


Am I missing something here ???
Please guide...
Parents has regular visitor visa and no super visa and I am citizen.

I think you got everything. You have all the required documents.

Get your parents a quarantine plan as well.

If the remaining quarantine (after the hotel) is going to be in a 2-bedroom flat with two bathrooms (not a house, but condo) where the visitor will have her own bedroom and bathroom - can others (who didn't travel) living in the same flat avoid quarantine (they will have their own bedroom and their own separated from a visitor bathroom)?

No that isn’t suitable quarantine with the variants. That would be considered a small apartment which is on a list of places where you should not be quarantining with others. Unfortunately we have seen people get away with it and some have ended up with the whole family getting covid. Those families have to remain indoors for 14 days which would also essentially increase your quarantine.

Could you please give me a link where it is said officially?
I was trying to find it but couldn't.
I actually do not see the difference between quarantine in the flat and quarantine in the house if both options mean separate bathrooms and bedrooms
