British Columbia was never independent. It was a British colony at the time of Canada's Confederation (July 1, 1867), and it became a province when it joined Canada on July 20, 1871, according to the provisions of the British North America Act.
1867, 1982, and some choose years in between. Confederation was 1867, and 1982 saw Canada take total control over it's Constitution and can today change it if they really want to.
But is Canada independent? Is a country that relies on an other for it's defense really independent? What if they rely on that same country for 75% of it's international trade? What if they then integrated the borders so personal from that other country, 10X their size and a superpower "administered" the border for them?
Can that be called independent? Maybe because some suggest the members of the EU are independent including Greece and Spain, but does anyone else believe that?

No. It was still a British colony. Confederation was formalized in 1867, at which point Canada became the Dominion of Canada. While still a British possession, there was a move toward more independence, as the colonies were becoming very expensive to maintain for the British Crown. We had certain obligations to Britain, for instance, we had to go to war if they declared it. After World War I, Canada more or less gained complete independence from Britain, with one holdover, the British North America Act (in effect, the Canadian constitution), which remained a British act, and could only be modified by their parliament. In 1982, the Constitution was formally repatriated to Canada, at which point we had total independence to conduct our own affairs.
