Joseph eventually rose to great prominence in the court of the Pharoah of Egypt, and then God brought 7 years of drought, not just to Egypt, but to all the lands around it. Since God had sent Joseph a vision of what was to come, he had advised the Pharoah to prepare and store grain in advance of the drought. So, when Joseph's brothers were in nearby Canaan, suffering hardship due to the drought, they went to Egypt where there was still food, and were reunited with their brother Joseph.

Why did the Israelites leave Canaan and go to Egypt?
There was a drought and famine in Jacob's time, so the Israelites went to Egypt because "there was grain in Egypt".

Jacob's other sons came and requested some of the grain that Joseph had saved. When Joseph reunited with his brothers, he eventually had the rest of the family brought down to Egypt, to protect them from the famine. They stayed in the Land of Goshen as guests of the Pharaoh. Later on, in Moses' time, the Israelites had to leave Egypt and go to Canaan in order to escape their enslavement.
