When did Canada get independence from the British Empire?

Canada gained independence from the British Empire gradually, with key milestones including the Statute of Westminster in 1931, which granted full legislative independence. However, it wasn't until the patriation of the Constitution in 1982, with the passage of the Canada Act, that Canada achieved full sovereignty, allowing it to amend its own Constitution without British approval. Thus, while Canada effectively became independent in 1931, its constitutional independence was finalized in 1982.
