I don't really know how should I say more native correctly.

Aspara Gushave always heard that cannot is more common and accepted than can not, but the COCA suggests otherwise, with 67373 citations for the latter and only 67 for the former,
Which shows you what the COCA is worth. It's "cannot". "Can not" is rarely called for (We can go or we can not go—it's up to you.).
