(canceled) is when you cancel a claim. So let's say you canceled claim 3. in the amendment where you cancel it, and in subsequent amendments, when you list your claims, you list claim 3 as follows:
3. (Canceled)
When you cancel a claim, you do not need to list the text of the claim from now on.
Withdrawn is when you withdraw a claim following a restriction requirement. So if you have 20 claims, but are given a restriction requirment for claims 1-10 as one invention and claims 11-20 as another, and you choose to prosecute claims 1-10, claims 11-20 will be labeled as (withdrawn).
However, in this case, you will liste the text of the claims as follows:
11. (Withdrawn) A method comprising...
12. (Withdrawn) The method of claim 11, etc.
