No, the US never owned Canada. However, during the American Revolution, Britain invaded French Canada, causing many French Canadians to join the American cause. But during that time, Canada was still owned by France. Once the US won the American Revolution, the American concept of Manifest Destiny was set up. This idea is more commonly known as "sea to shining sea". This meant that the USA wanted to own everything from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This area that they hoped to acquire included Canada, so you could say that the US wanted to own Canada, but they never accomplished it. Today there is no more American longing of the Manifest Destiny, and we are happy with what we have and do not wish to own Canada.
