From Pathfinder Wiki
If a persons feet/shoes can be easily placed under their seat while in a kneeling position, kneeling in a canoe can provide greater stability because it lowers the center of gravity. It also allows the paddler greater control over the canoe's side-to-side tilt because the weight can be quickly shifted to the left or to the right to counter tipping. When sitting, this is more difficult to do because shifting the weight from one buttock to the other does not have much effect.
