Kissing never transmits any STI, with or without canker sores. Nothing to worry about.

A canker sore virus is not transmissible, since it is only individual specific. If kissing someone who has bleeding gums or oral open sores, and you have the same condition, than these viruses are transmissible if one is infected.
