How does the constitutional monarchy connect to the Canadian government?
The Canadian monarchy is the foundation of the Canadian system of government.
As per s. 9 of the Constitution Act, 1867, executive power for Canada is vested in Her Majesty the Queen. Her Majesty's executive functions are exercised on the advice of the Queen's Privy Council for Canada. By convention, only privy councillors who are also ministers--and are therefore responsible to the elected House of Commons--may advise the monarch. These exercises of the Queen's executive functions are referred to as the Queen-in-Council (or the Governor General-in-Council, when exercised by Her Majesty's viceregal representative); this is the executive branch of Canadian government.
The Queen is one of the three components of the Parliament of Canada (alongside the Senate, and the House of Commons). The Governor General (as the Queen's representative) summons, prorogues and dissolves Parliament on the advice of the prime minister, and opens each session with a throne speech prepared by the Government of the day. Any bills passed by both Houses must be granted royal assent by the Governor General (or the Queen personally) to become law. The Queen's legislative role is referred to as the Queen-in-Parliament.
The Queen is also the Fount of Justice for the Canadian judiciary. Decisions are handed down in the Queen's name, and cases prosecuted by the Government are done so on the Queen's authority. The authority of the Queen for judicial decisions and prosecutions is referred to as the Queen-on-the-Bench.

What is the french equivalent of states?
The country of France, including its overseas territories, is divided into 26 state-sized administrative districts called regions, which are further divided into a total of 100 sub-regions called departments, 343 to 346 Senatorial districts or arrondissements, 4032 county-sized areas called cantons and finally the cities or communes of widely varying sizes.
Unlike the US, which began as a confederation of autonomous colonies, France has changed internal governmental divisions as late as 1982, when the Law of Decentralization reorganized governmental representation. Although each commune has an identical municipal form, most have fewer than 500 residents while the largest (Paris) has 2,000,000. The number of communes (nearly 37,000) has proved difficult to reduce.
There are 577 seats in the National Assembly (subject to redistricting by population) and 343 seats (increasing to 346) in the indirectly-elected Senate.
