If you own land in the backwoods of rural Canada I doubt anyone who cares would know you've built the cabin. If there is no plumbing, power, road etc. and the cabin is under 500sq/ft and you have logging rights I can't imagine anyone has jurisdiction to oppose. Unincorporated land, no environmental impact, ownership of the property. I can't see a problem.

How do you know if you don't bother to look it up? Many countries have national parks and entire areas where any "modification" to nature is illegal.

To my knowledge you cannot own national park land in Canada. I should have said "minimal environmental impact", but yes it's probably something you should look into to make sure you aren't close to water courses or disturbing some kind of nesting area. By and large though, building a small cabin with no services in the woods is going to by definition have minimal environmental footprint if you follow common sense and do a little research.
