Online biology courses. You don't need to earn the degree.

The American Public University System offers online programs in natural science, electrical engineering, and mathematics, so they might have some courses you need.
Westcott is not an accredited college, but they apparently have some deal with Brandman University that allows their courses to be put on Brandman's transcript as Brandman courses.

I don't know if ABET is important when transferring U.S. coursework to Canada. I know that Canada and the U.S. have equivalent psychology accrediting bodies that recognize each other. Unfortunately, there are only online electrical engineering programs with ABET accreditation, but there should be some overlap in the fundamental courses.

If you're interested in a future graduate program, Stanford University offers an online MS in Chemical Engineering.
When I was writing this post I started to consider whether maybe I should look into stuff from the US as well. I'm not really sure of how transfers and things work but thank you so much for these links. I'm definitely going to look into this more. I've heard school in the US is more expensive but I've also heard you guys have state schools which might be on par with our prices here?
Either way thanks again!
I think this website will help you a lot. It lists about 2,000 online courses offered in Canada.

Oh wow. This is incredible. Thank you for linking this to me, I don't even know what to say. I started clicking through the categories and my arms felt weak because I genuinely didn't know there were so many options out there. So happy to see this!

Yeah, I think this might be a good idea for the student loan issue. I've been weirdly into process control for years so I'm almost hyper focused on it but I've been trying to give some thought to a different type of degree that might be useful but also something I'd be personally interested in enough to excel at.
