Which monarch gave royal assent to the 1867 act that created Canada? Queen Victoria gave royal assent.

Queen Victoria gave royal assent to the British North America Act, 1867, on March 29, 1867. The act was passed by the Parliament of the United Kingdom and became the constitutional foundation of the Dominion of Canada. It came into force on July 1, 1867, creating the federation of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Royal assent was the monarch’s formal constitutional approval of legislation passed by Parliament. Victoria did not personally travel to Canada for the event; the act received assent in Britain. A later royal proclamation set July 1 as the date on which the union would take effect.

The act is now known as the Constitution Act, 1867, and remains a major part of Canada’s Constitution. Queen Elizabeth II was the monarch during the Constitution’s patriation in 1982, which is a separate event. Edward VII and George V reigned later, so neither could have approved the 1867 statute.
