Canada gained self-rule through a series of legislative acts, most notably the Statute of Westminster in 1931, which granted dominions like Canada full control over their own laws and foreign policy. This act marked a significant step towards legislative independence from the British Parliament. Canada's journey to full sovereignty continued with the patriation of the Constitution in 1982, which included the Canada Act, ending the British Parliament's authority over Canada.

The conflict within Canada that made it difficult to gain self-rule was primarily the tension between French-speaking Canadians, particularly in Quebec, and English-speaking Canadians. This linguistic and cultural divide often led to political strife and disagreements over representation, governance, and rights. Additionally, the fear of losing French culture and language in a predominantly English-speaking nation further complicated efforts toward self-governance. These challenges were exacerbated by external pressures, such as British colonial interests, which hindered Canada's path to autonomy.
The British initially responded to Canadian desires for self-rule with caution, recognizing the need for a balance between maintaining imperial control and addressing colonial aspirations. Following the Rebellions of 1837-1838, Britain enacted the Durham Report, which recommended the unification of Upper and Lower Canada and increased self-governance. This led to the British North America Act of 1867, creating the Dominion of Canada, granting it significant autonomy while still under British oversight. Overall, the British response evolved from reluctance to a willingness to accommodate Canadian self-governance.

From what I've learned, the Canadians wrote to the English asking for their independence, and England granted it to them.
It gave precedence to the idea that every citizen had the right to self determination.
self rule means -> not ruled by someone else..
