"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

It gained independance in 1947 ^

Parts of India had been under control of the East India Company since the 1750's, and in 1858 (after the Indian Mutiny), they came under control of the British Government. This lasted until 1947.
