Are OVAs and Specials canon?

Are OVAs and Specials canon? When I say canon I mean only if the anime is an adaption from a light novel or manga... Cause I haven't watched any Specials or OVAs because I don't think they're canon but I might be wrong... I just wanna be sure so if they are canon then I will probably watch them.

Depends from the description of what they're animating, for example Hunter X Hunter OVA is about the continuation of yorkshin arc that means its canon, to put it simply if the OVA come from the manga/light novel then its canon if not then its NON canon.

If it fits into the story line without contradicting anything then I say it's canon, if not, then non-canon.

Depends. Pretty sure that most of the time they are.​
