"Canon point" refers to the specific point in the story your character comes from. A TV show could be a specific episode, a book/manga could be a certain chapter. A game could be from a specific plot point. Of course, you can also say "Post-Canon," would would imply that it's from the very end of your character's story. This can be where ever you feel most comfortable playing your character from, we only ask that you keep the description as spoiler-free as possible!
