Is Canada an independent country or not?

1. Is Canada an independent country or a British overseas territory?
If it is a completely independent country, why is Queen Elizabeth II still the head of the state?

2. I don't mean to offend Canadians but are they proud of the fact that Canada was a British colony?

3. When did Canadians begin to think they're Canadians rather than British overseas citizens?
Additional Details
When did Canada get its own currency, embassies and armed forces?

1. An independent country which was once owned by Britain. Queen Elizabeth is just a figurehead, she doesn't run anything.

2. Since Britain owned half the world at one time, the fact they once owned Canada doesn't make people proud or not proud. They don't consider it relevant.

3. They always thought of themselves as Canadians. Just as Australians always thought of themselves as Australians.

Yes Canada is an independent country, it governs itself and has a Prime Minister as the leader.
The Queen of England is merely a figure head, she has nothing to do with running Canada. In order to understand this concept...look at Canada as the Child of Britain, that has grown up and now has their own family.Canada is still considered part of the British Commonwealth. Canadians have seen themselves as a "Canadian" since they became the Dominion of Canada (1867) never a British overseas citizen...what ever that is.

Canada is an independent country, and has been since 1867. We are still part of the British Commonwealth, but we are not governed by the British monarchy. We have our own legislature and government.

I believe that most Canadians began thinking of themselves as Canadians in 1867...

Canada is still a part of the British Commonwealth. They can pretty much run their own country, but it's the British Crown that is still in charge.

Canada is its own independent country
the queen is just a figure head and has no say in running the country these days

Canada remains part of the commonwealth
