You don't need:

<link href="<original url>" rel="canonical">


if you're doing a 301 redirect because both are the same thing in terms of search engines trying to figure out which copy of your page is original.

Your best bet is to remove the link tag with canonical in it on your pages and implement a 301 redirect from the .com version of your site to the .ca version, so that when visitors visit the .com version, they will either be automatically be redirected (if they use a normal web browser), or they will land on a redirect page that indicates where the original page is located. On an apache server, the page will look something like this:

Moved

The document has been moved here.


and the word here is a link that directs users to the new original page when it is clicked.
