Here you go, about half the way down: https://support.google.com/webmasters/a ... 9066?hl=en.

In short: The link rel="canonical" goes in the head section.

To put canonical tag in website you have to aware with this tag. I mean you should proper know about it that why canonical? and why we use canonical tag in website. If you don't know about all this then here i am going to tell you regarding for the same.

When you single page open with multipal URL's then we have to use canonical tag. to define google that which page is original page or which one is duplicate. For this tag you can use <link rel="canonical" href="your original page url" /> like this.

Canonical tags are usually inserted in the Header part of the page.
