They can definitely apply for their visa to join him, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/faq/work/work-faq06.asp

He can send them a copy of his work permit and they will use that to apply for their TRV's in New Delhi, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/offices/missions/new-delhi.asp

Here are the instructions on applying for a TRV: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/apply-how.asp They should write in the details of their visit that they are joining husband/father in Canada.

If the son is of school age, he will also need a study permit, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/student.asp

The wife can apply for an open work permit based on the husbands work permit, see http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/work.asp

They will still need to prove that they will not overstay in Canada and that they can support themselves in Canada. The husband can send a copy of his work contract or 3 of his last pay slips to prove his income.
