With the 28-test veteran available for selection, there were no changes to Hansen’s side from that which beat the United States 48-15.
“Our focus is on us and the upcoming opportunity to refine our rugby identity,” Hansen said.
“We know Canada are a physical and accurate side, and we’re looking forward to matching the intensity to put on a consistent, disciplined performance we can be proud of.
“Both teams are coming off the back of growing performances, so fans in the USA and back home can expect an entertaining contest.”
Prop Marcelle Parkes has also joined the Black Ferns camp in Missouri as an injury replacement for loosehead Awhina Tangen-Wainohu, who reaggravated an existing neck injury last week and has returned home.
The Black Ferns last met Canada in the semi-finals of last year’s Rugby World Cup in England, where the Canadians eliminated the New Zealand side with a 34-19 win.
In last year’s Pacific Four Series, the sides drew 27-27, with the Black Ferns ultimately going on to win the title.
