If your canoe is anywhere near modern, it should be unsinkable. It will float even when filled with water. This doesn't mean it will float well or upright. I have a 20+ year old colemen that has foam floats in the ends, most fiberglass canoes have foam in the ends or under the seats.
I've flipped my canoe, near shore, and they are heavier than the look. I had to swim the canoe to shore before I could reboard it. Try to flip yours it is a lot harder than it looks.
