Yes it is.
First, check nodewords module's issue queue and documentation if it can migrate data from old modules(FeedAPI is almost deprecated and the maintainer has created a migration module. I mean something like this). If yes, follow that way and install nodewords module.
Nodewords module can add meta tags such as keywords and description, including canonical_url to the final HTML output of pages.

Deprecated means that module no longer maintained and your site in a security issue(because security fixes will not be issued). So update status module says, "canonical_url module is deprecated, please use nodewords".

and if you have a modified version of canonical_url module, or there is a very good reason to use it in future, you can avoid this message by deleting "information added by drupal.org packagin script" text and text under it.

and always keep in mind: modifying modules or avoiding such messages is NOT good.
