    Canonical urls are content that has multiple urls pointing to it, but your website specifies which is the preferred url to it.

    An example is when you have a url with a www. preceding the domain name and a url without the www. and you set a canonical link element to specify which you want as the default one.

    You can solve this issue with 301 redirects.

    A canonical URL is the URL that you want visitors to see. Quite often canonical URLs were used to describe the homepage. The typical example used is that most people treat the following URLs as the same.

    Canonical URL is an easy way to handle duplicate contents. If you have same page in different URL's you can specify canonical url in code, so Google knows the original page.
    You can do the same with 301 redirect, but here page will not need to redirect.

    use it on a website that has different content that appear on different part of the site that you want to refer to. it is used to guide the search engine
