"Canada" as a colony was never completely controlled by the British until the French capitulated New France on September 8th, 1760. However, Canada first became a colony in 1497 when John Cabot first landed and "claimed" the land in the name of Henry VII, then King of England. Canada officially became the "federal Dominion of Canada" on July 1st, 1867, marking the end of (overt) British rule over the Head of Government (the British monarch is the Head of State in Canada to this day). So officially a British colony: 1760-1867 European dominion: 1497-1760
The British Empire started to break-up from 1947. The British government had a policy of deolonisation from the 1940's until the 1980's (with Zimbabwe, Belize and Brunei being given independence in the 1980's). The last major British colony ended in 1997 with Hong Kong being given back to the PRC.
