Depends on cooking method, but generally not higher than 230°C.
As canola oil has a very neutral, clean taste and non-fatty texture, it is ideal for the preparation of most food products:
170–180°C for general deep frying (some foods might require a different temperature)
Do not fry at temperatures >180°C. If making use of a thermostat/fryer with thermostat, make sure that the thermostat is working correctly.
Fry at the correct temperature.
Fry from frozen where applicable, do not thaw.
Do not overcrowd the fryer.
Soft on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside and light to golden colour throughout.
Chips, chicken, seafood, crumbed and battered foods

Robust and earthy foods that can carry the flavour of EVOO:
As part of a dressing over salads
Not recommended for deep frying due to higher temperature requirements.

Similar to B-well canola oil. As B-well Canola & Olive oil only has a subtle olive oil aroma it can be used with both robust, earthy food elements such as meat, root vegetables and legumes and more delicate, subtle food elements such as fish, young vegetables and tender greens.
