Canada did not form from any country.

The Dominion of Canada, was created in 1867 out of the merger into one dominion of 3 British colonies: Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Later on Prince-Edward-Island joined what is called Confederation, followed by British-Columbia. All of Which were British colonies. The rest of the territory was transfered from the British Hudson's Bay Company. This land was later divided into new provinces and territories, including the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta, and the territories of Yukon, and the Northwest Territories, which was further subdivided into the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. Finally, in 1949, the British colony of Newfoundland joined confederation. The Colony of Canada was a result of the Act of Union of 1841 which united the colonies of Upper and Lower Canada into one colony, called Canada. These entities are now Ontario and Québec, though the Province of Québec itself is a much older entity, the name of which goes back to the Royal Proclamation of 1863, which changed the name (and boudaries) of New France to the Province of Quebec. New France was the name of the French Colony, which is now part of Canada.

When was Canada named Canada?
Canada, the first country to have been created by legislation, was named "Canada" on July 1, 1867. The pre-Confederation Province of Canada was named "Canada" on February 10, 1841. The colonies of Upper Canada and Lower Canada were so named on December 26, 1791.Kindly note that Canada's name has always been, simply, "Canada." It was never "the Dominion of Canada." In this respect, please refer to section 3 of the British North America Act(now the Constitution Act). The word "dominion" therein was merely a term of description. The pertinent part of section 3 reads, "one Dominion under the Name of Canada." The confusion arises because in the 1860s most (if not all) nouns were capitalized.
