Canker sores are completely different form herpes. Canker sores are basically a mouth wound. You can get it from a toothbrush scrapes, stress, allergy, etc. There is only one way to get any kind of herpes and it's to get it from someone who already has it. So no, canker sore cannot cause genital herpes because they are different.
You can get herpes on your genitals if some one with a visible cold sore or fever blisters (which are caused by oral herpes) gives you oral sex, but as stated, these are unrelated from canker sores.

Yes, actually it can. If your partner has a cold sore and you receive oral, the HSV-1 strain can spread. This is more common for women than men as they have a greater number and larger areas of mucous membranes than men. It is currently the most rapidly growing source of genital herpes. Because of the virus' extreme highly contagion rate you can even infect yourself from a lip cold sore and touching your genital regions through masturbation or poor hygiene.
