Christine Sinclair missed the opportunity to be the first player in history to score in 6 consecutive World Cup campaigns, denied from the spot by Nigerian keeper Chiamaka Nnadozie.
For all of Canada's pressing and overpowering possession, the Nigerian rearguard could not be unlocked.
Deborah Abiodun was sent off late on for Nigeria, however they earned a point with a battling display.
Canada and Nigeria have one point in Group B, behind co-hosts Australia.
The Canadians face Republic of Ireland in their next game on 26 July, after the Irish were beaten by Australia on Thursday.
