As a Canadian, I'll jump in and state that the GG is "originally" from Haiti she is, to the best of my knowledge, now a Canadian Cit.  She was appointed as the Queen's representative in Canada, but this is the type of thing that the Prime Minister of Canada says, "We'd like Ms. Jean for our GG" and the Queen's rubber stamp comes out. As in other countries the Queen is the Queen of Canada, the fact that she also is the Queen of England saves us the trouble of finding our own unique Queen.
As far as dissolving parliment, the PM goes to the GG and "requests" that s/he dissolve parliment, or in some cases progue parliment(a temporary method of shutting down parliment usually used to avoid passing legislation that the government is not too happy about, or to shut down committes to avoid embarassing questions).
The response is not really in doubt.
