    The Canon RAW format always starts with the identifier CR2.... Even after you convert them to either Jpeg or Tiff, the "title" of the file will still start with CR2. It is only an identifier, it does not mean the photos are in RAW format. The letters that tell you what format the photo is in follow at the END of the identifier. For example, after doing the RAW conversion of a file that was say CR26548, the resulting file name would be CR26548.jpg

    Did you not see the jpg extension at the end of the file name? Sometimes a program or computer will be set up to not show the file extension. That can be changed if you are not able to read the jpg extension name, (but even if you cannot see it, it is still a jpg if that is what you converted the RAW file to.

    PS... You have a Canon, not a Cannon.
