Best Answer

The British North America Act made Canada a British colony. Canada did not become entirely independent until 1980, with the repatriation of the constitution. Canada remains part of the British Commonwealth, however, and Queen Elizabeth II remains Canada's head of state, although that is purely a ceremonial position (as it is in England as well).
