Splitting the area into two colonies was an attempt to end the French-English conflict and retain the allegiance of the Loyalists in Quebec.The English settlements in Upper Canada would be ruled by British common law and an elected assembly while the French province of Lower Canada would retain the form of government decreed in the Québec Act (a governor and appointed Councillors).

Canada did not form from any country. If what you mean is which two European countries created political entities which were then merged into Canada, then your answer is Great Britain (or the United Kingdom) and France. 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.
