Canva Pro trial routes cancellation to a subscription that does not exist

A Canva Pro trial user trying to cancel is redirected to the Play Store, where no matching subscription appears despite repeated account checks, leaving no functional way to cancel. The in-app "contact us" support link is also broken, cutting off the last avenue for resolving the stuck subscription.
