If that particular Canon driver DOES show a "No Color Correction"  
choice,
then yes, you can use that in combination with Vendor Matching and you
should get the same target print (dark, saturated, etc) as from using
my workaround. Either of those methods will work, and you don't need to
reprint your target again, either, what you've got now is fine.

Yes, it will be doing the right thing. The problem is that in most (I  
had thought "all", but perhaps
some drivers have actually been updated recently) Canon drivers, the  
"No Color Correction" setting
wasn't showing up and so users weren't able to choose it.

You can save yourself some time on this. Both targets are going to be  
the same.
Just pick either one, measure, and build from it.
