Hi there

From what I can see you're approaching this perfectly.  Having a self-referencing canonical is fine too.

Can't really add much more to that, but if you've not seen them already Aleyda Solis provides some great guides to international SEO and hreflang, here are a few posts:

Does anyone know the effect hreflang declaration has on GWT's reporting of duplicate titles and meta descriptions. For instance you may be targeting en-gb and en-us, the page content is different in terms of currencies, addresses, phone numbers, etc. but you do not see a reason to change the title or meta description. There might be cases where you want the same title and not want to add an arbitrary reference like the country name to make it different.
