It's usual that the formal "Representatives" are invited on a State Visit.
Maybe you can compare it with Germany: the chancellor never attends State Visits. The official representative, so the president, is invited instead.
I guess it's similar in Canada: not the Prime Minister is invited, but the official representative of the Queen.
It's always the "Head of State" who is invted.
