In canasta, a partnership must have completed at least one canastaāa meld of seven or more cards of the same rankābefore a player is permitted to go out by melding, laying off, or discarding their final card.1
Additionally, before going out, a player has the option to ask their partner for permission. If they choose to do so, they are bound by the partner's response, which must be a simple yes or no.1
