Definition taken from wikipedia:

A Canon is a contrapuntal composition that employs a melody with one or more imitations of the melody played after a given duration (e.g. quarter rest, one measure, etc.). The initial melody is called the leader, while the imitative melody is called the follower which is played in a different voice. The follower must be created from the leader by being either an exact replication of the rhythms and intervals of the leader, or a transformation.

A cannon is a song that is sung by multiple voices with each voice starting the song in sequence, singing different verses of the song simultaneously. An example of a cannon is "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" as each line can be sung simultaneously for a pleasant harmonic experience.
