Sooo I want to printout my digital art in about A3 size sheet (297 mm x 420 mm, 29.7 cm x 42 cm or 11.7 in x 16.5 in) or I should say poster size. For better quality.
What do you think of the Canvas size I should take? And what settings I should keep for that? I'm using krita for making my art.
Also what of after printing my chosen colours change? What can I do for that?

if ur laptop can handle it, make it the same dimension as the size your printing (for raster). if youre working with vector it doesnt matter the size. if you cant handle such a large size, get as close as possible to not lose quality. Have it at 300 dpi or higher. any lower will sacrifice some quality in printing.

for colors, cross ref it. when drawing, have it displayed on a differnt device at the same time OR every so often export onto a different device to cross ref color changes.

also make sure your color settings are set to cymk for printing. rgb is for digital viewing
