Yes you are correct. But my parents are not old enough and they'll invest this money themselves in Canada and pay tax accordingly. So, they will be contributing to the Canadian economy even more than myself.
Not old enough for what? If they are young and able to work, then let them get a work visa. If they are not young enough to work and pay taxes then they're (IMO) a burden to the system.

So, basically I need to check the requirements of Super Visa to apply. Thanks a lot VIP Member!
Note a Super visa is just a visit visa. While here on Super visa they won't be able to work.

And can they apply for business visa, if they are willing to invest in Canada?

Do they own and operate a business now that has been operating for more than 2 years?

If they are expected to work, they can apply in economic class immigration. family sponsor isn't the proper way for this purpose

How old are your parents? You start losing a lot of points with age.

I would calculate how many points your parents have under Express Entry. You may find it's not feasible if their age reduces their overall points too much.

Yeah - unfortunately they're going to take a huge hit on points. They'll be awarded zero points out of a possible 100 for their age. Again, I would calculate their overall Express Entry points. If they're over 400 points - there's hope.
