ELI5: Why is Canada still technically a constitutional monarchy?

Why hasn't Canada separated itself officially from the UK after years of independence?

Think of it like growing up with your parents. When you're young your parents tell you what to do, but as you get older you need them less and less. Now some people or countries in this case don't really like their parents so they decide they want to get emaciated (a fancy word for them not having any control over you) and they become republics.
Canada on the other hand really didn't mind it's parents and as it got older decided it could be more and more independent without them. Canada basically got to the point where our parents don't really have any input on our decisions. Any time Canada makes a law we still ask our parents if it's ok but we're adults now so they really can't ever say no. So we operate as if our parents aren't in our lives. Every once in a while our parents come to visit and a lot of people really like having them here.
The reason we haven't emancipated is because now there really isn't a point, it would just be a lot of work to separate from someone we really don't mind.
