since we know that hydride shift is  RDS in  Cannizaro reaction and 

the carbon cannot exceed its covanlency to 5 also the double bond btw C and O is stronger then hydride it will leave for a nuchleophilic centre it will leave

but instead of hydride going out , OH- can leave since it is a much better leaving group than H-

the group that leaves is basically that group group which doesnt has any role in giving stability
