No. Mars missions have found indications of flowing water millions of years ago, but no sign of canals. It is generally accepted that the "canali" reported when Mars was first observed with primitive telescopes were visual aberrations due to dust storms. They have not been observed since, despite many thousands of observations and both orbital and landing missions by robot spacecraft.

What planet was considered to have canals but did not have them?

Mars. The Italian astronomer Schiaperelli thought he could see "canali" (channels, not actually canals) on the planet's surface. Percival Lowell also "saw" them, and wrote an extensive book on what Mars was probably like because of the "canals". It was determined years later, and proven by the Mars orbiters and landers, that the "canals" were an optical illusion to earth-bound viewers. They don't exist.
