The Dominion of Canada was created by the British North America Act (now known as the Constitution Act) of 1867. Canada is a constitutional monarchy wherein the person who serves as monarch is shared equilaterally by the other Commonwealth Realms as their respective sovereign. As such, every monarch since Victoria has been Sovereign of Canada, although Elizabeth II was the first to be separately proclaimed as Queen of Canada (by the Royal Style and Titles Act of 1953).

The monarch is Canada's Head of State, and is represented by the Governor General of Canada.
