The first 14 of 16 berths for each of the five Olympic relays in Paris were allocated in Nassau.
The Canadian men had already qualified Saturday by winning their heat and posting the third-fastest time.
The women's 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams also raced in Sunday's finals. They'd punched their tickets to Paris the previous day by finishing second in their respective heats.
The group's time was three minutes 27.17 behind the victorious United States in 3:21.70 and runner-up Poland in 3:24.71.
