Since its Parliament has been shut down by the representative of the British Queen (the "Governor General"), is Canada truly independent and is it technically a monarchy?

Yes, it is a Constitutional Monarchy that is independent. The Queen of Canada is Elizabeth II. While she is outside the country the Governor-General is her representative.

The Queen of Canada also happens to be the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. She is also the Queen of 15 other independent states.
