The M6 was manufactured 2 years after the 1 V3 which is a fairly serious gap as far as camera technology is concerned. Both of these cameras have the same body design (Rangefinder-style mirrorless).

Before we go straight to a in depth comparison, here is a short introduction of how the M6 grades versus the 1 V3 with regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall mark.

Here is a preview of the gallery images for Canon EOS M6 and Nikon 1 V3. The entire galleries are available at Canon M6 Gallery and Nikon 1 V3 Gallery.

Sometimes, it is very difficult to visualise the gap in sensor dimensions simply by researching specs. The pic here will provide you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the M6 and 1 V3.

All in all, the two cameras provide different megapixels and different sensor dimensions. The M6 featuring a bigger sensor will make achieving shallower depth of field less difficult and the Canon M6 will render greater detail due to its extra 6 Megapixels. Higher resolution will also let you crop shots more aggressively. The more recent M6 is going to have an advantage in sensor technology.
