Having been canoeing many times I can tell you from experience that it depends on where you are sitting in the boat and what kind of stroke you are using when you paddle.

The simplest answer is that you would expect to go forward and you would tend to veer to the left as you pulled on that side of the boat.

Experienced canoers can steer the boat in either direction or straight ahead by using the appropriate stroke no matter which side they paddle on.
