Moving course content from Moodle to Canvas is a relatively easy process. However, because of differences in the way Moodle and Canvas handle course content, there is a chance that some of the content will be displayed in a slightly different way than it is in Moodle. If this is the case, the fix is usually simple and often obvious. An example of this may be that longer form content that is in a Label in Moodle may be moved to a Page in Canvas during the import process. This is probably the way many users would prefer it, but it may not be the right for your content. After you have imported your course, if you need help fine tuning your content in Canvas, please contact Academic Innovation.

Please note that Canvas courses have a 1GB size limit. If your Moodle course is larger than that, you may need to remove some files and host them elsewhere. Please see this page on Reducing Moodle Course Size for more information.
