Moved to the International nursing forum.

Have you found a course that requires you to be in the US? I have really only ever seen online courses. Have you not thought about trying in Canada to get it done and then look at moving?

I'm thinking that the OP wants a U.S. course. The US system does LPN to ADN bridges which would be far quicker than the Canadian bridges which require completion of a BScN.

Like ur situation, excelsior college is the fastest track, but there are some good sides and bad sides, go to check their website ...,,

But are they looking to physically be in the US and do the course?

You would likely need to have a US LPN license in order to a bridge program down there.
