I couldn't agree more. Getting the camera level is very important in my opinion.
One thing that would help is a focusing screen with grid lines (like this

Another thought, does your Canon view finder have superimposed grid lines on demand? I have this function on one of my Nikons (never bother using it though) but I don't know about Canon's.
I'd recommend getting lots of practice and you'll find it easier to keep the camera level. Rotating the images in Photoshop works but will also cause you to lose a little bit of quality as all the pixels are shuffled around, so it's best to avoid doing that.
