Knock off all the soil and set them in a dry dark place to dry out. Once all the foliage had died back and the rhizomes have dried then you can store them in a cardboard box with some peat moss. Just make sure everything is dry. The rhizomes can take some freezing temps so you can store them in a garage until spring.
Here is a site you can refer to as well:

Good Luck

This is why I don't plant Glads, Dahlias or Cannas. Pretty to look at, but I have difficulty with their survival after digging them up. Even my Amaryllis won't cooperate. I've had it in a dark, dry place since New Year's and the dumb thing still sends off shoots!

This page will give you detailed instructions on how to dig non-hardy rhizomes such as Canna.
