What is difference between canonical and 301 redirect

Technically there is a significant difference between canonical and 301. 301 is basically a permanently redirection code which is implemented to redirect any site to a new location and also through 301 we guide the user that the webpage or the site is parliamentary redirected to a new location where as through canonical only search engine or can say guide crawler that the original part of the content is at the given location. 

There is no any effect to the user in using canonical however it is also not visible in the case of 301 to the real time user but the webpage redirect the user to a new location to show the page.
