Technically, Canada is still under British rule since our constitution is tied to the monarchy, and all bills must receive royal assent by the Governor General which is the King's official representative. Sure, we essentially govern ourselves, but the monarchy still holds the reins.
Fun fact: According to our governing documents, the Governor General is the Queen's representative, and King Charles is just fulfilling the role and duties of the Queen. Evidently, those who wrote is assumed Victoria would never die.
