The Norwegian MoD is very positive that Canada is looking at the Type 212CD as a possible candidate for new submarines, with Norway and Germany as partners in the submarine business.
The Nor-Ge sub program is working closely with Can to promote this.

The US hasn't built diesel electric subs since the Barbel-class, three commissioned in 1959, and all decommissioned by 1990.

Canada entering the 212CD program will not affect the delivery time-line of the Norwegian subs according to our MoD.
Internally no other option is being considered.
Here's a 3 post thread summarizing them.
