Your parents are the ones who need to apply for the TRV. To be approved, they will need to demonstrate that they have strong ties to their home country (e.g. employment, property ownership, assets, etc.) and have no plans on remaining in Canada long term. Unless they have traveled extensively to countries requiring visas in the past (e.g. US, UK) - I would recommend they ask for a 2-3 week trip at most.
Generally speaking it's better to wait until you have been in Canada for several months before your parent try to apply for a visitor visa. However they can certainly try now if they wish.
