Which Compiler are you using? If you are using mikroC then it has CAN library. Example code is available with demo Compiler and also at libstock.com

Microchip offers a consider array of free tutorials, documentation, libraries and sample source code for all their CAN enabled microcontrollers.

An under utilized resource is the schematics and example code provided by Microchip's development boards.

Utilizing a PIC18F4680 and CAN transceiver, combined with schematics and example code freely available online, you can construct a CAN development platform of your own design.

Yes, the links I previously posted have "demo" code compatible with PIC18F4680 and the Microchip C18 Compiler.
