This question is actually too complex for a simple true or false answer. The war had little direct effect on Canada - there were no invasions of Canadian territory and Canadian soldiers were never involved in the war.

The US Civil War was quite profitable for Canada, as British Canadian merchants could buy northern goods and ship them to the southern states and vice versa.

Draft dodgers and deserters often went to Canada to escape military service. Confederates held in northern camps or prisons sometimes escaped to the safety of Canada.

Immigrants entering the US were subject to the draft and some immigrants therefore chose Canada over the US during the war.

Some Canadians chose to come to the US to fight for the Union cause.
