The head of State in Canada is The Queen of Canada.

The current title of the Queen is as follows: "Her Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom, Canada and Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith." This title is prescribed for Her Majesty by the Royal Style and Titles Act.

The Queen is represented in Canada for most purposes by the Governor General of Canada (who therefore performs most of the functions of the head of State). The current titles of the Governor General are as follows: "His Excellency The Right Honourable David Johnston, Governor General and Commander-in-Chief in and over Canada, Chancellor and Principal Companion of the Order of Canada, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Merit, Chancellor and Commander of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces."

The head of Government for Canada is the Prime Minister.

The current titles of the prime minister are as follows: "The Right Honourable Stephen Harper, Prime Minister of Canada, Member of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada, and member of the House of Commons for Calgary-Southwest."
