There are many reasons behind this. The obvious reason is that Britain was capturing American ships and forcing their sailors to work in the British navy. This caused the States to get angry and retaliate. Canada was a British colony, so they decided to attack there. Beyond that, America wanted to grow and expand to cover the whole North American continent and wanted to take over Canada for the land.
