He began his career in 1865 as a volunteer soldier, in the Batallón de Infantería de Guardias Nacionales de Extramuros. Three years later, he was promoted to Sub-Lieutenant, taking active participation in the revolution of Bernardo Berro, occurred on February 19, 1868.

He served in support of the López Jordán troops under the command of Anacleto Medina against the National Government forces commanded by Emilio Mitre. That same year he served under Timoteo Aparicio in the Revolution of the Lances against the government of Lorenzo Batlle.[5]
In August 1871, Canaveris was promoted to the rank of captain, later promoted as sergeant major in 1875, and March 20, 1886, he reached the rank of lieutenant colonel, during the Revolución del Quebracho.[6]
Canaveris took part in most civil clashes between Blancos and Colorados, including the Revolución tricolor, Batalla de Paso Severino, Batalla de Corralito, Batalla de Sauce, Batalla de Manantiales and Batalla de los tres Árboles, conflict where served as escort of Colonel Diego Lamas.
Like many of his comrades he was persecuted by his opponents, having to go into exile in Buenos Aires towards the end of 1880.[7] He did not take part in the last Uruguayan civil conflict (Revolución de 1904), due to disagreements with the leader of the Blanco party José María Pampillón.[8] He had established about thirteen political clubs in the city of Buenos Aires, with more than 5,000 affiliate partners.[9]
Retired from political life he was dedicated to the management of the Sociedad Territorial La Plata, a company dedicated to selling land in monthly installments, through public auctions.[10] He wrote some articles about of the exhibition of woolly animals of the Argentine Rural Society,[11] and also served as a commission agent.
