That was part of the 'rainbow' series of war plans. During the 1920's the US developed a color-coded series of war plans primarily for the purpose of training officers in the process.
War plan 'Crimson' (plan for a war with Canada) was used as a method of training planning to junior officers. (The creation of 'serious' war plans was left to senior officers.)
The plan was taken seriously during the early days of WWII when there was concern that Britain may fall to Germany. The concern was that if Britain fell to Germany then we may have had to occupy Canada to keep the Germans out.

Do you know that the Pentagon has officers drafting up plans to invade everyone? If we ever do have to invade a country that officer is the automatic expert. That is how Schwarzkopf got to lead Desert Storm. He was the middle eastern expert on invading Iraq. If we invaded Iran then a different general would have been in charge.

It was just planning for war games, they never seriously were intent about a real invasion. The military needed practice planning invasions and Canada seemed a reasonable place to practice.
