According to IMDb, Canales's first role was in a Venezuelan telenovela called "Olvidarte Jamás," where she played a woman named Dulce in one episode. Her career really kicked off in 2010 and she landed roles in several short films, she was in an episode of "The Glades," and she appeared in the 2010 film "Promises" as Goldigger 3.
In an interview on the Meisterkhan Pod YouTube channel, Canales described how she first got involved in the acting world. "I actually wanted to be a singer," she explained. "I wanted to do music, whether I sang or I played in a band, that's kinda just what my focus was. And then I got into a high school that was this art school, and they had a musical theater department and a theater department that kind of shared classes and teachers. So as I was doing musical theater more and more, I started leaning towards more theater classes ... Even though I still did the musicals and everything, I think I wanted to get grimier with the material. So when I finished high school, I continued in the theater department, and I went off and did it in college."
She went on to explain that she started taking advertising courses to get a more "realistic" degree, but eventually, she started booking so many acting gigs that she felt no one could tell her to stop working toward her true dream.
