I am confused to why this is classified as a state visit-since only the head of state can perform a state visit and the Governor General only represents the Canadian Head of State.

the head of state in canada is the queen. however, the representant of the queen is the governor general and therefore she carries out the official visit, as the queen can obviously not do state visits for all her realms. that's why this is a state visit.

Well the GG is very pretty. But i don't really like her gown. For me it's a lil bit too revealing for women of her age and for a formal occasion like that. But the Queen sure look very gorgeous, so does the Crown Princess and Princess Astrid..
