Her Majesty is the Queen of Canada as per s. 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867, which vests executive government and authority in the Queen. The Queen is represented, in Canada, by the Governor General (currently His Excellency the Right Honourable David Johnston), who performs nearly all of the Queen's functions.

----------------------------------

The Governor General in Canada does not answer to QEII, or any Queen other than the ceremonial one on Canadian paper. The Governor General, David Lloyd Johnston, fulfills a ceremonial role for the Canadian People and our elected representatives via the Prime Minister of Canada. Though many do long for the days when we answered to Britain, our political references to the Queen and Royal stations are ceremonial only. Canada is independent from Britain politically.
