If you meet LICO, good and bad news. The 16 and 17 year old can be sponsored as orphaned minors. However, the 18 year old cannot be sponsored. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...adopted-children-other-relatives-sponsor.html

If you don't meet LICO, you can't sponsor any of them.

OP would have had to adopt them to include them as dependents.

i should be alright im on good income, would i be able to sponsor 2 of them at one time and what about the 18 year old she doesnt have anyone apart from us, and normally how long would the situation take.

How much do you make per year? There is a number you have to meet.

You could sponsor the 2 younger ones but you have to make sure to get the apps in before they are 18.

The older one is more complicated. She needs to qualify herself. Your best option for her would be to fund her studies here. If she does a degree here, she can get a 3 year work permit. That gives her a lot of opportunity to get the necessary requirements to qualify to immigrate.
