I'm not at all sure that canvas is the thing if you want non iron - I have a heavy cotton kilt and it takes a crease well - so well that it will pick up any that are going and require half an hour of ironing to be smoothed out again.
The best material I have for not creasing is a heavy polyester cotton mixture intended for a duvet cover. It really stays unrumpled after a week's wear and I can throw it in the washing machine, hang it to dry and it is ready to wear without pressing. The pleats stay in and it is soft to the skin so no liner required.
If you can only find a lightweight material use it double. You do have to ensure that it is on the straight grain of the fabric, though, or it will not lie straight.
