It is important to clarify that Canada Day is not an independence day.
Canada Day celebrates the effective date of the Constitution Act in 1867 (which was called the British North America Act at the time).
The Constitution Act is basically what formally established Canada as a dominion of the British Empire.
Prior to that, Canada was not unified into a single dominion, instead various separate colonies existed.
The Constitution act is what brought these colonies together under one dominion called "Canada" in a process known as "confederation"... but Canada was still effectively under British rule at the time. The British Parliament still had significant and direct control over Canada's constitution as well as Canada's national defence and foreign affairs policies.
Canada gained some independence in 1931, but it wasn't until much later that Canada actually became independent in 1982 and there is currently no holiday celebrating that independence.
It's also worth noting that even though Canada is technically independent now, Canada is still a member of the British Commonwealth and still has a monarch (Queen) who is the same as the monarch for the United Kingdom. So Queen Elizabeth II is still technically Canada's head of state.

We call it “Canada Day” and it’s on July 1st
And it’s technically not an Independence Day. It’s the date that the Constitution Act came into place
