Comment (by egorpromo):

 For single posts it is possible  to get canonical URL by used
 get_permalink() function or if we have paged post by used
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/16973 some function] that will be
 in future versions.

 For any archive page there is no decision. It is possible to use
 get_pagenum_link() function in way like
 get_pagenum_link($wp_query->query_vars[ "paged" ]), but it is odd. If we
 have URL with unnecessary parameter like
 http://example.com/?cat=3&some_param=some_var (‘some_param’ is odd and
 unnecessary parameter) it makes parameter will be in every another page
 like http://example.com/?cat=3&some_param=some_var&page=2.

 Conclusion. Now we can retrieve canonical URL for single post (or single
 page or single attachment) only.
