Yes, Canada remains a constitutional monarchy today.

Pursuant to s. 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867, Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is the head of State. The monarchy is at the core of Canada's three branches of government. Her Majesty is represented by the Governor General of Canada (appointed by the Queen on the advice of the prime minister), who exercises most of the Queen's functions, though some are exerciseable by the Queen alone.

The current Canadian head of State is Her Majesty Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada.
