Ummm ... in the Canadian Parliamentary system, the Prime Minister goes to the Governor-General (the Queen's spokesperson) and asks the GG to ask the Queen to dissolve the current parliament before elections can be held to elect a new parliament ...

It is all part of a protocol that is purely for show now, since Canada has had its independance from Great Britain since 1982, when the Canada Act was given Royal Assent.
