In the script of "Where No Man Has Gone Before", this planet was referred to as "a Canopus planet", not "the Canopus planet". Canopus Planet might be Canopus III, Canopus Major, or another planet in the system not identified in the canon.

Canopus Planet was located in or near Federation space, in the Beta Quadrant. (Star Trek: Star Charts: pg. 65)

Lieutenant Nara, seen in TNG: "Eye of the Beholder", was from Canopus Planet. (Star Trek: Starship Creator bios)
