Yes its unfortunately not available right now. Canvas cannot be imported in dashboards but you can add all the visualizations elements into a canvas workpad which is essentially your dashboard. and you can also have the timepicker.

You can interact on Canvas by adding filters and changing timefilters.

But I did find out there is a solution in place for full screen in dashboard.  
Starting 7.9 which is our next release - you count embedded mode as full screen - go to dashboard, hit share, choose iFrame, and makes sure to select the time picker in the list of UI elements to include.

If you open just the URL - you get the full screen mode with timepicker 🙂

Hope this helps  
thanks,
