Canadians, in common with others who have Queen Elizabeth as their Head of State, don't really swear an oath of allegiance to the Queen as a person or as an individual, but to the Crown which she represents.

The 'Crown' represents the ultimate authority of the people of those countries (equivalent, if you like, to 'We, the people...', in the US Constitution), under whose authority politicians, judges, members of the Armed Forces, all work. In criminal trials, for example, the term, 'The Crown, versus....', in Commonwealth countries, is exactly equivalent to 'The people versus...' used in the United States.
