I am a US citizen planning to move to canada and working there as an RN. I have been an nurse for 11 years with ADN. What is the process of working in canada. Will they accept ADN to work in a geriatric setting?

You’ll have to contact the licensing body of the province you’re moving to and they can guide you. 
Canada doesn’t have ADNs. Most likely you’ll be an LPN.
