Surprised that Bryan didn't say it, but a version of the cowboy rescue works fine for most canoes, basically grab the stern, push it down under the water while lifting yourself up and basically fall into the boat. You will have lots of water inside, but you'll be inside. A bucket is faster to remove lots of water quickly.
