Abraham traveled to the land of Canaan because God told him to.
God said he would make a 'great nation' out of Abraham(Genesis 17:5) and He would give his descendants a land of their own (Genesis 12:7).
The fulfillment of this promise began when God commanded Abraham to move to Haran (Acts 7:2-4; Genesis 15:7; Nehemiah 9:7). He and his family left Haran in 1943BCE (Genesis 12:4) crossing the Euphrates River, and heading through Damascus and Shechem (Genesis 12:6)into Canaan. He moved into the mountainous regions between Bethel and Ai, and then, because of a famine, moved into Egypt.(Genesis 12:8-10). He then went to the Negeb and back to his previous encampment in the mountains(Genesis 13:1-3), and he remained in this land of Canaan and in Hebron(Genesis 13:12+18) and among the 'Big trees of Mamre' (Genesis 18:1)where the fulfillment of God's first promise to Abraham would take place(Genesis 13:14-17)(Genesis 15:18-21). He then moved between Kadesh and Shur, in Gerar(Genesis 20:1). Later, he traveled to Moriah to offer his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice, as a test of faithfulness(Genesis 22:1-14). When he passed this test successfully, God made another promise through Abraham, about the coming Messiah(Abraham's seed-Matthew 1:1,2+16/Hebrews 11:17/Romans 8:32) by whom 'all nations of the earth will bless themselves'(Genesis 22:15-18/1 John 4:9/John 3:16). Abraham then moved to Beersheba (Genesis 22:19) and was buried in the cave of Machpelah in the field of Ephron(Genesis 25:8-10)

Why did Abraham leave Ur to migrate to Canaan?
Because God spoke to him and offered him the eternal covenant. This was in the nature of a contract between Abraham and his descendants, and God. If Abraham agreed to trust God, and leave his home, and go searching for the 'promised land', and if he agreed also to remain faithful to the one true God of Israel, then in return God would bless all of his descendants and make them the founders of 'great nations'. Abraham was a Hebrew, and the founder of Judaism.
