The lens do not matter. It's the size of your photo. 800x534 is really small.
Depend on the print lab, but here is the break down in general for canvas printing (for Pro, these are still "low" quality, but for general purpose printing, these are enough):
2592 x 1944 pixels
High Quality: 10 x 13 inches
Acceptable Quality: 13 x 19 inches
2272 x 1704 pixels
High Quality: 9 x 12 inches
Acceptable Quality: 12 x 16 inches
2048 x 1536 pixels
High Quality: 8 x 10 inches
Acceptable Quality: 10 x 13 inches
1600 x 1200 pixels
High Quality: 4 x 6 inches, 5 x 7 inches
Acceptable Quality: 8 x 10 inches
As you can see, at 800x534px, you cannot not even get a good 4x6 photo. For 11x14 at a decent quality, you'll need something like 2048x1536 or more.

Okay i have the Canon Rebel xs..1000d model....the pics i am talking about uncropped are 3888x2592 and at cropped 800x534...so would even the cropped pics work for 11x14 canvas or 20x30..?...also is the reason everything changes is that i used a telephoto lens for these certain pics..does that change things??? but then i did use the wide lense for a pic that is still too low resolution at 800 x 534 for a 11x14...and can u direct me to a chart that tells how many pixels or dpi's to get what size picture that is good....?
