FC Shakhter Karagandy

In January 2012, Cañas signed for Kazakhstan Premier League side FC Shakhter Karagandy.[3]

FC Astana

In January 2014 Cañas signed for Metalurh Donetsk,[4][5] however Cañas never played for Metalurh Donetsk as he was released by the club at the beginning of February after medical test showed the presence of only one kidney.[6] Cañas then went on to sign a two-year contract with FC Astana on 2 February 2014.[7] On 24 August 2016, Cañas signed a new contract with the club until the end of the 2018 season.[8]
