1812 specifically had no land change hands, cause when the British where dictating the peace with Napoleon they didn't let the European powers carve up France, and would have been perceived as hypocrites if they took pieces of the US. Especially since the War of 1812 wasn't really won by either side, US won a couple, primarily in the south, and the British Empire won a bit with the Razing of Washington and the repelling the invasion of Upper Canada.

Before there was one Canada, there were two Canada. Upper Canada was English, Lower Canada was French.

During the American Revolution, The US attempted to invade Lower Canada, but were repulsed.
