Canasta is not played like this

Melds/canastas are same rank not suit

If a joker is thrown because the player only has jokers left, how does the next player pick the pack? Can they pick it with matching jokers?

Rank, not suit is how I learned to play Canasta

Same rank for canastas not same suite.
