It isn't. Canada was a dominion but even that status has changed and I think you're simply a member of the Commonwealth with a shared head of state (Elizabeth II).

It's been the two dollar pound for quite some time now. I think the highest I've seen it go (from watching Newsnight's currency market bit at the end) was about £1 = $2.05.
