Canet grew up in a family deeply connected to motorcycling. His grandfather Salvador Ardèvol ran a motorcycle workshop in La Garriga and had competed nationally; his father Albert also raced motocross. At the age of four Canet was given a 50cc KTM, and in 2011, aged six, he made his competitive debut in the Catalonia Motocross Championship. Within a few years he had won four Spanish beginner championships and one European championship, competing from age nine in motocross events across Spain. In 2019 he won the Spanish MX85 Championship. By his early teens he had competed in the 125cc European Motocross Championship and was regarded as one of the strongest junior motocross riders in Catalonia.
From the age of eleven, Canet was mentored by Nani Roma, a former Dakar Rally champion, who guided his development as a rally-raid prospect. Other figures including Marc Coma, Jordi Viladoms, and Joan Barreda offered coaching and encouragement. He also trained at the Heinz Kinigadner motocross school.
A serious crash on 17 January during his motocross years left Canet with five broken vertebrae and required three surgeries. Recovery was long, and at the time there was uncertainty about whether he would race again. He returned to competition after a period of rehabilitation. His decision to switch from motocross to rally raid at eighteen, rather than pursue a conventional motocross championship path, surprised those around him.
In late 2023, Canet entered his first rally raid, the 1,000 Dunes of Morocco, and finished second. He then won the Oasis Rally. For 2024 he contested a full W2RC season with the XRAIDS Experience team on a KTM 450 Rally Factory. At his debut event, Rally Portugal, he finished eleventh overall and third in the Rally2 category; he was third in the prologue, finishing twelve seconds behind Daniel Sanders and Ross Branch. He added a third-place Rally2 finish at the Desafío Ruta 40 in Argentina and finished seventh overall and second in Rally2 at Rallye du Maroc. He also placed sixth in the FIM Bajas World Cup in the Junior category.
His 2024 results earned him a place on the KTM Factory squad for 2025, joining Luciano Benavides, Kevin Benavides, and Daniel Sanders.
Canet arrived at the 2025 Dakar Rally as the youngest rider in the event's history to compete in the motorcycle category. In the prologue he finished third overall, twelve seconds behind Daniel Sanders. Through the fortnight he maintained consistent front-running pace in the Rally2 class. He finished eighth overall and won the Rally2 category. He was also named Rookie of the Year. The date on which he crossed a key stage finish line corresponded exactly with the anniversary of the crash that had threatened his career four years earlier.
Canet's 2025 W2RC season produced a dominant Rally2 title campaign. He won the Rally2 category at the Dakar Rally, Rally Portugal, the South Africa Safari Rally, and Rallye du Maroc — four victories from five events — to clinch the 2025 W2RC Rally2 World Cup Championship.
For the 2026 season, Canet stepped up from Rally2 to the RallyGP class — the highest tier of W2RC competition — on a KTM 450 Rally Factory. At the Desafío Ruta 40 he posted three stage wins as he adjusted to competition against the world's best senior rally-raid riders, finishing 32nd overall.
