Obviously to ship a pet you would either need to contact a specialist company in your home country or contact an airline directly.

Yes, you absolutely can bring your pet to Canada, provided it is not something that is prohibited, like an exotic cat or elephant or something of that like
Cat/Dog/Bird/Fish, something of this nature is absolutely no issue. You only need make sure you pet is up to date on his/her vaccinations and get a health certification from your vet in your home country certifying your pet healthy. Most times it is a very simply procedure, occasionally, a pet may need to be quarantined to ensure his/her health but that is rare.

Thank you very much for this information as I don't intend to abandon my dog and leave for Canada. I very much want him along with me.
What's the procedure like to bring him along? Any information on that part will help us sail through smoothly.
Thank you very much. I shall read through and ask again if I'm confused about something.
BTW which option in your opinion is better, an agency in my home country or contacting the airline?
I'm from India so I'm not really sure if we've an agency which can help through this.
You're welcome! Yes, I am planning a move to Canada with my cats. As far as I know, you need to call up the airline and find out their requirements as well as the Canada Immigration requirements. Usually a pet vaccination certificate including rabies cert. and a doctor's letter for fit to fly are basic requirements. Airlines and immigration may ask for more. You may also need an export certificate from your country's animal quarantine office.
Good luck and please share what your experiences so that others may learn from it.
Thank you and yes I'll definitely share the experience and learnings.
Best of luck and hope to see you on the other side
