Canonical tags
I added canonical tags properly. But google search console still failing all the other links. (Except primary URL). when i check with canonical tag checker, all says “Your page is using the Canonical Tag”.
What should i do? -

When you say Google is failing, what do you mean? What is Google saying about the URL?

Do you use Google Search Console? If not, you should as it can tell you a lot about how Google eyes you site from many different perspectives. It will tell you if Google thinks it’s a tagged as canonical, for example never trust a third party site or tool to tell what Google thinks about something, they will all tell you something different and are useless for the most part. Trust Google to tell you what Google thinks about your site.

In order to fix this here are some steps I would have applied If I find these kind of problem:
* Double-check that you have added the canonical tags to the correct pages and that the URLs in the tags are accurate. Goal of this is to double check that there are no issues with the URLs specified in the canonical tags.
* Implementation of the tags in the html. The canonical tag should be within the <head> section of your HTML document. Goal of this to is to check where you have pasted those tags.
* Resolve any crawl errors if they exist.
* Check if the non-primary URLs have indexation issues. Ensure either google have indexed these pages or not. Make sure to use no index in the case.Sometimes it is better to wait instaed as your process may be under process.
