I have an old version (0.17) of rocket.chat running on Ubuntu(14.04.5). Is it possible to migrate the data to a new version running with snaps?

You should read the Rocket Chat upgrade guide: https://rocket.chat/docs/installation/updating/from-0-x-x-to-0-40-0/.

Importing data into snaps is technically possible. But very complicated right now. Some effort is currently underway to make it extremely simple to import data.
In the mean time I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of Rocket.Chat to make that transition easier.
To upgrade you need to first update your version of Node.js.
Install n
via npm install -g n
then perform the upgrade to Node.js 4.5 by running: n 4.5
Now you'll need to grab the latest version of Rocket.Chat and install it. You'll pretty much repeat the install step from what ever guide you followed. A great guide is also available here
