Cabinet ministers are the senior most advisors to the Crown.
The Queen's Privy Council for Canada is the formal name of the body of advisors to the Sovereign; its members are appointed by the Governor General, on the advice of the prime minister. Only privy counsellors appointed on the advice of the currentprime minister are considered to be "active" advisors, and these privy counsellors are styled "ministers of the Crown."
Even amongst ministers of the Crown, some have more authority and sway with the Government of Canada than do others. Ministers of the Crown who are the most active advisors on the exercise of executive powers become a part of the "Cabinet," which is the steering committee of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada (i.e., its only active branch of advisors).
