Just like you disable , any gameobject? make a variable , assign the Canvas then simply ,

 void DisableCanvas() {
      CanvasObject.SetActive(false);
 }

TrollHachem's comment isn't quite right, which is why you defaulted to canvas.enabled = true;.

What he meant to say was canvas.gameObject.SetActive(true);.

The above answer is correct if you want to disable the gameObject itself. To disable the Canvas component you can use this:

 CanvasObject.GetComponent<Canvas> ().enabled = false;

This avoids null object errors.

Btw, this is the Unity recommended option if you want optimal performance.
