        I don't understand the question... I looked at the city page and I see the proper canonical tag, but I'm not quite sure what your issue is.  What do you mean by "still getting canonical is crawling." -- Can you elaborate a bit?

          having a canonical tag say domain.com/mypage for the url domain.com/mypage does nothing as far as search engines are concerned.

          If the content is reachable by another url lets say domain.com/mypage2 then having the canonical tag domain.com/mypage will tell the search engine that domain.com/mypage is the canonical page.

          Can you explain what you are trying to do and your problem a bit clearer

          thanks

            I looked at my MOZ crawl reports and it shows that all my pages have Canonical issue.. I m trying to understand how to correct that and why I have canonical issue even after adding canonical tag for each page..

              I think if you read, they are notices, not errors.

              Having a canonical tag in your page that is incorrect and not knowing it exists, can be a big problem, so moz notifies you that they exist, that's all.

                Thanks for response..

                That what I got form your response:

                1. We should not have canonical tag for all pages if we do not have canonical pages..

                2. As MOZ is notifying canonical issue , my site might have canonical pages, we should identified them?

                Do I need to worry at this time or I m good?

                Thanks..

                  Your good.
                  Moz is simply letting you know where they are.
