Yeah I don’t think it’s especially common.
Maybe out west or in the prairies? I don’t know many people from there. In the marritimes it’s all “aboat” as far as I can tell, and Ontario I think says it like American “Abowt”.
Part 3 of the north american accent tour, by Erik Singer, on the Wired YouTube channel, does a great job breaking down different Canadian (and north american) accents.

I’m from the maritimes. The most common pronunciation of “about” that I’ve heard sounds like “a boat” ⛵. And “out” is usually pronounced like “oat” 🌾.
That’s what I tried to say, but autocorrect did me dirty 😭 I’ve edited to fix it now
