In 1867, with the union of three British North American colonies through Confederation, Canada was formed as a federal dominion of four provinces. This began an accretion of additional provinces and territories and a process of increasing autonomy from the United Kingdom, highlighted by the Statute of Westminster in 1931, and culminating in the Canada Act in 1982 which severed the vestiges of legal dependence on the British parliament.

Did Canada become independent by asking nicely?
Canada's independence was a matter of mutual agreement with Great Britain. It was a "win-win" situation. -------- The question suggests Canada is independent today, which it is not except for small local matters. Today Canada is a protectorate of the USA and answers to the USA on all major questions of defense, trade and international politics. The USA patrols Canadian airspace and waters and Canada has recently entered into border deals that would see Canada "share" enforcement with the country 10X it's size. Only a Canadian would think of Canada as independent. As for Confederation, Canada did not have to ask, in fact Britain had been pushing for Canada to defend itself and become independent many decades before Confederation. Britain was also quick to give over to Canada all other territories and possessions held by Britain in North America. Britain also supported the purchase of Rupert's Land. It was more a case of being told than asking. Something that upset the Canadian delegation when they witnessed the rapid passing of the British North America Act in the British parliament.
