There is no problem being out in the cold water in a canoe, it is done all the time in various parts of the world. There are precautions that can be taken to make it less risky. The biggest precaution of course is to have a life vest on...
I have gone for many early season canoe trips, including once in January when the lake hadn't frozen over yet. Never felt wrong, but I was prepared... and played it safe....
