Simple answer, shoot with RAW. If you have to, take a sample picture of a white card. Heck I even sometimes use my 18% grey lens cleaning cloth.

Open the capture in Canon's DPP and use the eyedrop tool with RAW for WB. Click on the white (or 18% grey) target to get a good white balance. I open the RAW file in PS CS6 as a TIFF to do further enhancements. Your methods may vary.
