You only move from the Mass of the day to the Canon and back once, after the Introit has begun.
Two ribbons are provided. One is used at page 684 for the Canon and the three other parts of the Mass that never change–the Asperges, prayers at the foot of the altar before Mass, and the Leonine prayers at the end of low Mass. The other ribbon should be placed at the Mass of the day. When Mass begins, you should be at the Asperges for a High Mass or at the Foot Prayers for a Low Mass. When the priest ascends the altar for the Introit turn to the Mass of the Day. There you will remain until the Canon, since every prayer and reading of that Mass will follow. When instructed, turn to the other ribbon left at the Canon. After Communion turn back to the Mass of the day for all that follows.
