Online MSc Computer Science Merrimack College

I'd recommend enrolling in a full-time bootcamp (3-6 months) instead.  You can also do a full-time co-op graduate certificate at a local college (note to Americans: a college is not the same as a university in Canada), which will give you a network and connections to start a new career.  Canadian college tuition is also cheaper (probably 5-6K for an entire program). 

However, assuming you already work on something relating to computer science, such as web development, I guess getting an online degree in CS can't hurt you.

Merrimack College is in the US. Diplomas don't typically say they were completed online so no one knows unless you tell them. I've completed 2 degrees so far online and am on my third right now and I'm making a career change. These degrees WILL help me in my career change. Maybe things are different in Canada, but this is how it is in the US where Merrimack College is. It's in Massachusetts. Certificates in the US aren't viewed as nearly the same as a degree. Undergrad and grad certificates just don't do much for a career here for some reason.
