There are two answers for this depending on which constitution you mean.

The first Constitution Act for Canada was in 1867; this was an act by the British Parliament that originally created the Dominion of Canada as part of the Commonwealth.

The modern Canadian constitution derives from the Constitution Act of 1982, which was passed by Canada's parliament and was endorsed by all provinces with the notable exception of Quebec. It requested full political independence from Britain and created an amendment process that was separate from that of the mother country. It also endeavored to guarantee certain collective and individual rights that were part of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
