    In web search and search engine optimization (SEO), URL canonicalization deals with web content that has more than one possible URL. Having multiple URLs for the same web content can cause problems for search engines - specifically in determining which URL should be shown in search results.

      Correct. Meta refresh tag also used for canonical issue.
      <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='http://example.com/'">

    It is used if you have 2 or more pages with the same content to avoid getting penalized for duplicated content.
