You most likely will need what's called a T-ring adapter. These are made specifically for your camera so find one made for Canon DSLRs.

That will give you a 2" barrel which you can slide into your scope's focuser. If your focuser can only accept 1.25" diameter then there should be an adapter you can purchase to aid in that.
