Thank you so much about it.

Search engines get confused when it comes with different content under smae url that means Url or content duplication.
So one should use canonicalization process to fix it up.
Canonical is non-other an attribute (rel=canonical) which provides search engine a proper information of similar url to fix content or Url duplication issues and not to get conflicted with each other.

when should we canonicalize URLs or not?

If the content is extremely similar or exactly duplicate.

Well, if it is the case that the content is either extremely similar or exactly duplicate on two different URLs, two or more URLs, you should always collapse and canonicalize those to a single one.

If the content is serving the same (or nearly the same) searcher intent (even if the KW targets vary somewhat).

Duplicate content issues arise when you have similar pages. You can solve this by selecting a preferred URL.

A canonical URL refers to an HTML link element, with the attribute of rel="canonical" , found in the element of your webpage. It specifies to search engines your preferred URL.

Canonical URL is SEO friendly URL and it is achieved by removing all characters after the URL

As a website gets bigger, it’s often hard to prevent pages from becoming duplicates or near-duplicates of each other. This can cause duplicate content issues. If you have two similar pages, and they are both eligible to rank for a certain keyphrase, the search engine simply doesn’t know which of the two URLs it should send the traffic to. To solve this, you can select a preferred URL, this is what we call the canonical URL.

Same content, multiple URLs
A canonical URL is a technical solution for duplicate content. You might, for instance, have a post or product that is attached to two categories and exists under two URLs, like so:

https://example.com/black-shoes/black-and-red-shoes/
https://example.com/red-shoes/black-and-red-shoes/
If these URLs are both for the same product, choosing one as the canonical URL tells Google and other search engines which one to show in the search results.

Canonicals also enable you to point search engines to the original version of an article. Let’s say, you’ve written a post for another party that is published on their website. If you’d like to post it on your site too, you could agree on posting it with a canonical to the original version.
