A question that any new immigrant would ask sooner or later is, "Is Canada still under United Kingdom Rule?, or is Canada controlled by any other country?". The answer is NO.

Up to 1931, UK had significant political control over Canada. Full legislative autonomy was granted to Canada by the Statute of Westminster, 1931, passed by the United Kingdom and ratified by the Canadian parliament. In 1982, the Canada Act terminated the power of the British parliament's ability to legislate for Canada, and the authority to amend the constitution was transferred to Canadian legislative authorities.  Therefore, Canada does not pay taxes to UK, and neither does UK has any legislative power over Canada.
