Opinion Needed: When I'm recharging a/c, freon will start spraying from the canister area

When you say "canister" do you mean the receiver drier/accumilator?
Adding refrigerant from a can is not necessarily a good idea. Easy to overcharge and blow out o-rings.
You may have a clogged expansion valve or orifice tube (one or both). Can also damage the compressor because it's being overworked.
Could also be a bad A/C pressure switch.

Drier
Yes I jus installed new drier cause the old one was doing same thing and coming from same area. When it starts coming out it reminds me of a blow off valve on a turbo. It will take freon for a second then you get the blow off valve effect coming from the drier area. Anything?

Just like I mentioned above.
The receiver-drier is a just decant device (pulls moisture out of the refrigerant). When you replaced the drier did you flush the system, replace the orifice tube and expansion valve and recharge the system under vacuum with the proper weighed amount amount of R-134A refrigerant with high side and low side pressures read with a A/C pressure gauge set? If not, the system got contaminated which can lead to catastrophic failure ("Black Death"). If this happens the compressor will fail and all of the above mentioned and the compressor will need to be replaced.
