It is nominally part of the Commonwealth and still has a Governor-General appointed by the Queen, but it's pretty much self-governing.

Technically the Governor general is the highest official in the Canadian government. The person that hold this position is chose by the Queen and theoretically that have ultimate veto power over any initiative in the house of commons. That official Is currently Michaelle Jean.
Although in theory the Governor general is the highest official they do not exercise veto power, or rather historically have not. Thus they are little more than a figure head. Canada is not part of the UK rather a sovereign nation and a member of the commonwealth.

Canada is a component of the Commonwealth of countries,earlier the British Commonwealth. it is not area of the U.ok. because of the fact a physique of water widespread because of the fact the Atlantic Ocean sits between Britain and North usa,making it complicated for all worried to be a area of an identical u . s .. maximum Commonwealth countries have a great way between them and Britain,which partly bills for why they're sovereign states. Queen Elizabeth is the top of the Commonwealth,yet has no longer something to do with the governance of Commonwealth countries. In Canada there's a Governor-known,appointed by skill of the Queen on the advice of the top Minister while the previous one steps down. she or he's the de facto Head of State representing the Queen.

As was preiviously stated before Canada governs Canada.
It is ***not*** part of the UK.
What might be giving you confusion is the fact that it ***is*** a federal constitutional monarchy... meaning that the Queen is considered to ***technically*** be the head of state. This isn't an uncommon arrangement amoung former British colonies. Australia is another example.
What also might be giving you some confusion is the fact that Canada is also part of the (British) Commonwealth of Nations.
So! In short Canada is Canada and Britan will prevail!
Hope that answers your question.
