In some ways yes - in others no. Canada's naval service was first established in 1910 and was intended as a distinct naval force for the Dominion, that, if necessary, could be placed under British control. By that I mean operational control; that is to say Canadian Naval units could augment British forces and serve under the operational and tactical control of British commanders. Other strategic matters such as determination of capabilities, establishment control, recruitment etc remained the purview of the Canadian government.

In 1910 the world was still, relatively, at peace and the need to place Canadian naval forces under British control had not yet arisen so, in that sense, Britain did not have control over the Canadian navy in 1910.
