Canter has an unusual records of qualifying for the European Tour through Q-school, four separate times. He qualified in 2015, 2016 and 2017 but failed to regain his place on the tour on each occasion. After a season returning to the Challenge Tour, he finished tied for 5th in the 2019 European Tour Qualifying School to gain a place on the European Tour for 2020.[2] 2020 proved to be more successful than his previous attempts on the tour. He had his first top-10 finish in the Hero Open and followed this with a tie for 5th place in the ISPS Handa Wales Open and runner-up finishes in the Portugal Masters and the Italian Open.[2][3]
