A canonical link (also called canonical tag, canonical URL or URL canonicalization) is included in the HTML code of a webpage to indicate the original source of content. This markup is used to address SEO problems with duplicate content which arise when different pages with different URLs contain identical or nearly identical content.
It can :

• a webpage is accessible with or without "www" prefix in its URL
• a webpage is accessible via "HTTP" and "HTTPS" protocols there are multiple versions of a webpage using different URLs (for example a print version or when using sort categories etc.)

Canonical URL or links are the search engine friendly URL which is used to avoid the duplicate content and tells to the search engines bots about the prefered URL that they want to show in SERP

Canonical tags are a powerful way of avoiding duplicate content; when similar content exists on more than one URL, a canonical indicates which is the more important URL so that Google knows which one to index.
