GameObject.Find() is not working

I have a code that is working and I figured it was because the gameobject I wanted to find was from another scene, but I moved the gameobject to the scene that has the script looking for it… but it just doesn’t find it and I am almost completely sure that’s the problem, since I checked the name for typos, I checked with other objects and they were found. (Also the gameobject im trying to find is a canvas but i never had this problem before finding canvases)

SCRIPT IN THE CANVAS:

IEnumerator loadScene(string type)
{
    DontDestroyOnLoad(gameObject);
    UnityEngine.SceneManagement.Scene currentScene = SceneManager.GetActiveScene();
    AsyncOperation asyncLoad = SceneManager.LoadSceneAsync(0, LoadSceneMode.Additive);

    SceneManager.MoveGameObjectToScene(canvas.gameObject, SceneManager.GetSceneByName("MainGame"));

    while (!asyncLoad.isDone)
    {
        yield return null;
    }
    SceneManager.UnloadSceneAsync(currentScene);
    if (type == "host")
    {
        NetworkManager.Singleton.StartHost();
    }
    if (type == "join")
    {
        NetworkManager.Singleton.StartClient();
    }
}

SCRIPT THAT SEARCHES FOR IT:

(runs after the object is moved)

public override void OnNetworkSpawn()
{
    if (!IsOwner)
    {
        Destroy(this);
    }
    else
    {
        player = this.gameObject.GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
        StartCoroutine(getName());
    }
}
IEnumerator getName()
{
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(0.1f);
    TMP_InputField nameField = GameObject.Find("MenuGUI").transform.Find("NameField").GetComponent<TMP_InputField>();
    name = nameField.text;
    this.gameObject.name = name;
    Destroy(nameField.transform.parent.gameObject);
}
