No. It was still a British colony. Confederation was formalized in 1867, at which point Canada became the Dominion of Canada. While still a British possession, there was a move toward more independence, as the colonies were becoming very expensive to maintain for the British Crown.
We had certain obligations to Britain, for instance, we had to go to war if they declared it.
After World War I, Canada more or less gained complete independence from Britain, with one holdover, the British North America Act (in effect, the Canadian constitution), which remained a British act, and could only be modified by their parliament.
In 1982, the Constitution was formally repatriated to Canada, at which point we had total independence to conduct our own affairs.

Why was Canada's entry into World War 2 different from in World War I?
Canada chose to enter WWII independently from Great Britain partly as a display of its sovereignty, but there were other factors that influenced this decision. Canada had automatically entered into WWI when Great Britain declared war, as Canada was then a dominion of the British Empire. However, since the signing of the Statute of Westminster in 1931, Canada had gained legislative independence from Great Britain. As a result, when Great Britain declared war on September 1, 1939, Canada was not automatically a part of that declaration. The Canadian parliament debated the issue, and a formal state of war was declared by Canada on September 10, 1939.
