Elementor Canvas Template Explained:

The Elementor page builder developers have given us an awesome template feature called “Canvas Template”.

The “Canvas Template” feature of Elementor Page Builder adds an empty canvas into your WordPress website, so you can build pages without the typical page structure.

This is helpful when you are building pages that need to have a different page structure from your website’s home page or post pages. These types of pages typically don’t have Headers, Sidebars or Footers.
