When did Canada gain its total independence from Britain?

Answer 1

Canadian Confederation happened on July 1st, 1867, however, this was not a Declaration of Independence as Canada was part of the British Empire. The Statute of Westminster in 1931 set the country as an independent realm with allegiance to the Crown as the 'Dominion of Canada'. The current Head of the House of Windsor remains the monarch of Canada.

It hasn't. Canada is a domain of Great Britain, meaning that while it has its own parliament which control all its affairs its head of state is still the British Monarch, so their monarch is also Queen Elizabeth.
