The role and title of the Queen of Canada is independent of that of the Queen of the United Kingdom.
As per s. 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867, executive government and authority is vested in Her Majesty the Queen. The Queen appoints a Governor General on the advice of the prime minister, who exercises most of the Queen's functions.

∙ 11y agoQueen Elizabeth II, often colloquially referred to as "the Queen of England" though that office no longer exists, is the Queen of Canada, Canada's Head of State. She is also the Queen of 15 other countries which, together with Canada, are called Commonwealth Realms.
The Commonwealth Realms share an institution called the Crown, in which the Queen is the sole office holder. The Crown is vested with authority and ownership of property on behalf of each sovereign jurisdiction in the Commonwealth Realms. It exercises these independently, subject to the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and free from the interference of other jurisdictions of the Crown. As a result, the existence of the shared Crown does not impinge upon the sovereignty and independence of the Realms. Each Realm is also free to amend its constitution in order to leave the arrangement, if it so chooses.
Every Realm other than the United Kindom has an official appointed by the Queen called a governor general who is constitutionally authorized to exercise some or all of the Crown's authority in that Realm on the Queen's behalf, and may have further authority in the Realm delegated to them by the Queen. The provinces of Canada and states of Australia have lieutenant governors and governors, respectively, who perform a similar role on the provincial/state level. All this is necessary because the Queen resides primarily in the UK and cannot effectively perform the role herself in every Realm and in each province and state. It also helps to ensure the independent operation of the Crown in each jurisdiction.
