Is this program worth it? http://vfs.edu/programs/programming
I'm not even Canadian so i would have to pay triple, so that's exactly $42,000. It's a risky investment but is it worth it? Or should i go to a regular university and get a bachelor's degree?

First of all, note that it is a programm for expeienced programmers.

Excerpt from program requirement: http://vfs.edu/programs/programming/program-requirements

Prepare a technical portfolio that contains 1-3 examples of programming work. Include a 1-2 page excerpt of source code you want to show off, and a 1-page descriptive summary for each project.

OR

Successful completion of ONE of the following VFS programs:
Foundation Visual Art & Design
Game Design
Digital Design
3D Animation & Visual Effects

So you either need some actual programming portfolio to show off or complete another paid course.

I would suggest going to university first. Then if you feel that it will be useful for you, get that course.

Just be warned- if you have to live at least close to the school itself, Vancouver is a very expensive place to live these days, due to the housing bubble that just won't burst.
