I am planning to get married in mid July 2020 and I am a permanent resident. I want to know if my parents can come to attend my wedding. They have their 10-years visitor visa already. How long they can stay and any other document they need to carry along?

There are new exemptions to travel restrictions. The immediate family members of Canadian citizens and permanents may now be eligible to enter Canada. To be eligible, they must have to prove that:-
a) That they are immediate family members of Canadian citizen or permanent resident
b) They will be staying in Canada for at least 15 days
They must also have a quarantine plan that shows how they will quarantine for 14 days when you arrive in Canada.
When you arrive in Canada either by air, land, or sea, your health will be assessed before you are permitted to leave the port of entry. If you are a foreign national and you have symptoms of COVID-19, then you will not be allowed to enter Canada.
If you are planning on travelling to Canada, you must make the following arrangements for your 14 day quarantine period:
1 ) Find a place to stay for the 14 days
2 ) Transportation to and from quarantine site
3 ) Groceries
4 ) Access to essential services and medical care
The 14 quarantine period is mandatory even if you do not have any symptoms of COVID-19. A CBSA officer may not allow you to enter Canada if you do not show that you have a proper plan for the quarantine. If you are in breach of the mandatory 14 day quarantine period, then you may face the following penalties:
1 ) Fine of up to $750,000
2 ) 6 months of jail time
3 ) Found inadmissible to Canada and removed from Canada and banned from entering for 1 year.
Only essential service providers such as truck drivers who regularly cross the border are exempt from the 14 day quarantine requirement.
