Question
How did the Canadians convience the British Parliament to give them the right to govern themselves?

Answer
Hi Miranda:

I think the alternative was another revolution ...and Englad had already experienced the results of that in the US

Also to be frank, it wasn't that big a deal to England. they had much bigger fish to fry. The issue od self govt for Canada was an annoyance.
