 Hi @haseeb007,

 I just did some research, and it appears that @SergeyBiryukov is correct.

 `rel="canonical"` is only allowed as an attribute of the `<link>` tag,
 which is only allowed within the `<head>` tag (unless the type is `body-
 ok`, which `canonical` [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html
 #link-type-canonical is not]). Search engines have also been known to
 ignore any `rel="canonical"` attributes found within the `<body>` tag.

 If this is no longer correct and you can provide some references
 demonstrating, this can be reopened and reevaluated!
