The Australian win was based on a significant power advantage up front with Canada simply unable to regularly secure their own possession and backed up by slick hands and pace across the backline.
The game was effectively over as a contest in the first quarter with Australia, led from the front by their impressive skipper David Pocock, already having run in four converted tries despite some valiant Canadian defence.
Canadian heads never dropped, however, and they enjoyed a good spell on the half hour with scrum half Sean White prominent and their reward was a try for centre Matt Evans.
However, the Australians put their collective foot straight back onto the gas and ran in two more tries before the break for a 45-5 lead at half time.
A number of half time replacements affected the cohesion of the Australian play for a while yet they opened the second half with two more tries in the first ten minutes before the ever willing White responded as he wriggled over from a quick tap penalty.
Despite the number of tackles they had made throughout the game, the Canadians refused to wilt until four late tries completed the job for Australia.
Australian wing Ratu Nasiganiyavi caught the eye with two well taken long tries and generally looked menacing every time he gained possession and full back Dane Haylett-Petty weighed in with a hat trick.
