Canada isn't just a member of the Commonwealth of Nations - it's a Commonwealth Dominion, to which the British monarch holds the title of Head of State (thus, the Queen of England is also the Queen of Canada). Canada has long standing ties to the Crown. Canada's independence was done under the provisions of the Statute of Westminster Act 1931, and further reading on that will help explain how the act both gave the Dominion independence, but also ensured they would remain tied to the Crown.
