Will an H1B visa refusal under section 212 (a)(6)(E) cause problems for a Canada visa application?

Potentially, yes, as inadmissability under ยง 212(a)(6)(E) puts in place a permanent bar and the United States and Canada do share immigration information:

The adoption of the Immigration Information Sharing Treaty enables our two countries to share systematically information from third-country nationals who apply for a visa or permit to travel to either country.

When a third-country national applies to Canada for a visa or a permit, or claims asylum, Canada will send an automated request for data to the United States. The request will contain limited information, such as name and date of birth in the case of biographic sharing, or an anonymous fingerprint in the case of biometric sharing. If the identity matches that on a previous application, immigration information may be shared, such as whether the person has previously been refused a visa or removed from the other country.
