Welcome, and good luck!
Look for Canadian courses first. Look around using the program and course search engines at cvu-uvc.ca (Canadian Virtual University, a consortium of nine universities across Canada) and studyonline.ca (a service of Contact North, Ontario's distance learning consortium).
If you're looking at US courses, avoid looking at courses other than those taught directly by regionally accredited colleges, and if you have a fairly even choice between a four-year college (grants a bachelor's degree) and a two-year college (community or junior college, highest degree granted is an associate's), go with the four-year.
The University of North Dakota has several professional entry engineering degrees including a BS in Chemical Engineering available partly online, with lab requirements met over short residency sessions. But there might be entirely online courses within the program you could use.
This board talks a lot about of alternative sources of credit from equivalency exams and independent, non-collegiate course providers. These are often lower-cost and more flexible than courses directly from colleges. They have their place, but they're unlikely to be what you want to rebuild your record for a Canadian engineering school.
If you're considering meeting a course requirement in engineering with something from an academic department or course code outside engineering like engineering technology or operations research, check with your engineering program as to whether it'll be accepted.
