Yes, but they do not have any power. The Head of State runs Canada.

The Queen/king of England is also the Queen/King of Canada. The Queen is on some Canadian money, and is refered to as Queen Elizabeth II Queen of Canada.

The Queen has a representative in Canada Called the Governor General, Currently it is Michele Jean. This position is mostly cerimonial, but she does have the Power to prorogue Parliment(basically suspend the Government for a short period of time upon request from the Prime Minister). the Prime Minister is really the head of Canada even though he may not have a majority government and needs support from other political parties to pass bill/laws.

What is the role of the British monarchy in the United Kingdom?

The British monarchy does not have a role in Canadian government.Canada's constitutional arrangements deal only with the Canadian monarchy. Though the monarch also happens to be the head of State of several other nations, the Royal Title and Styles Actprovides for an exclusively-Canadian title for the Queen. The Queen exercises most executive functions (as the Queen of Canada) on the advice of members of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada (by convention, only privy counsellors who are also ministers--and therefore are responsible to the House of Commons--may advise the monarch).The British monarchy does not have a role when it comes to the government of Canada.Her Majesty the Queen of Canada is the head of State for Canada, and is represented by the Governor General of Canada, appointed by the Queen on the advice of the Canadian prime minister (the head of Government).
