Senators are appointed by the Prime Minister, which is one major difference between the Canadian system and the US system. The head of state, a ceremonial position called the Governor General, is nominated by the Prime Minster and confirmed by the Queen (Queen Elizabeth II of England). Although Canada is no longer a British colony and is self governing, it has retained the position of Governor General as a symbolic link to the past.
