Canning
Does this sentence make sense (and does it sound natural):
"She was approached by a street vendor who, with a lot of canning, tried to hoax her."

No, I'm afraid you can't alter 'canny' to become a noun in this way. I'm assuming that was the origin of the term 'canning' in your mind? The only meaning of 'canning' is the process of putting things into cans.

It suddenly came to me what I think you meant:
She was approached by a street vendor who tried to trick her with his cunning ways.
