Community college + university does not work for internationals since there’s virtually no financial aid for international transfers.
Your solution is to get into the best school you can as a freshman (mix private and public schools - publics typically only have merit money and your stats don’t make it likely that you’ll have a merit scholarship). That means practicing a lot to raise your SAT score and look for a less selective school where you can get merit money.
Focus on schools ranked 100 to 150 in national rankings, and especially on regional colleges (rank 1-30?) where you may get money, especially if you qualify for the Honors Program.
Of course apply to schools in your Province in order to see whether your local school is better than the US schools you’d get into.
