Steps to reproduce the issue
Fill site domain in SEF plugin (without this canonical not write!)
Write to adress some text to request:
site-name/?sdfsfsdfs=
Expected result
<link href="http://site-name/" rel="canonical" />
Actual result
<link href="http://site-name/?sdfsfsdfs=" rel="canonical" />
System information (as much as possible)
Joomla 3.5.1, php 5.4
Additional comments
All work fine at joomla 3.4.8
It's not right repeats URI. And it's work correct at joomla 3.4.8.
Live check
joomla 3.5.1:
m-sumka.ru and m-sumka.ru/?sfdsdfsdf=
joomla 3.4.8:
autotuning-aks.ru and autotuning-aks.ru/?sdfsdfsdf=
At joomla 3.4.8 on url autotuning-aks.ru/?sdfsdfsdf= we get right canonical:
<link href="http://autotuning-aks.ru/" rel="canonical" />
Autotuning-aks.ru has VirtueMart for homepage which creates its own canonical URL. Try another page on the site.
E.g. no canonical is inserted here http://autotuning-aks.ru/o-kompanii.html?sdfsdfsdf=.
Wrong canonical is inserted here http://autotuning-aks.ru/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5 and here http://autotuning-aks.ru/component/content/article/5
etc.
All of them use com_content one material on main page. Virtuemart can set canonical only on own pages - category, product, main page of store.
There is a problem with current cannonical implementation, under some conditions/configurations (i will open an issue for it or post here) the generated canonical URL is broken giving a 404 error, but that is a different topic
.
.
- Now about your case:
what you suggest is wrong !!
think what you are you suggesting ...
EXAMPLE 1
you suggest that this URL
http://autotuning-aks.ru/component/content/article.html?id=5
should have this cannonical
http://autotuning-aks.ru/component/content/article.html
- which is a wrong / bad URL without an article ID and will give 404
EXAMPLE 2
http://domain/search/?seachword=test
should have this cannonical !!
http://domain/search/
- which of course again wrong
Do you have a canonical domain set in SEF plugin? Because if not, the (Joomla) canonical shouldn't appear in 3.5.1 at all.

Sorry I am closing this issue. The canonical option in Joomla is ONLY for the canonical domain and not the url
Yes, that's a know problem.
Basically, the canonical just repeats the URI you entered but with the other domain you entered.
See https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/plugins/system/sef/sef.php#L74
