I have hunted snows over Canada decoys and it isn't too bad. See, the snows are smaller birds, but more aggressive than the canadas, so they don't mind landing in there with canadas. However, I think the canadas would rather stay clear of them.

Personally, I would leave the snow decoys at home if you are able to hunt canadas unless of course you know that thousands of snows are using the field and you can have a field day with them. Try to scout the field and see what is using it and use the decoys appropriately. While it is tough to get canadas in if they are not regularly using a field, it is extremely tough to get snows to come in if they aren't regularly using a field. The snows are much more wary. So, I prefer hunting canadas unless I know the snows have been in a field for a couple of days. Even then, it is still tough to rely on snows showing up.
