In what year did the Statute of Westminster grant legislative independence to Canada?

The Statute of Westminster, which granted legislative independence to Canada, was enacted in 1931. This landmark statute was essential in affirming the autonomy of Canada from the British Parliament, allowing Canada to create its own laws without requiring approval from the UK. This shift was significant in the evolution of Canada's governance, marking a movement towards full sovereignty.

The Statute effectively recognized Canada and other Dominions of the British Empire as self-governing, which meant that they could legislate on their own behalf. While prior to 1931, Canada could not make changes to its Constitution or laws without British consent, the enactment of the Statute removed this restriction, allowing for greater legislative freedom.

Other years listed do not mark this significant moment in Canadian history. 1920 did not have any related legislative changes regarding independence, and 1945 and 1967 are periods that occurred much later, with post-World War II developments and further constitutional changes, respectively, but they do not pertain to the initial granting of legislative independence established by the Statute of Westminster.
