What certifications should I get in order to enter on cyber security related jobs?

This is my profile summary:

1. I am a Nurse.
2. I dont have IT related education.
3. I am proficient in computer hardware and software troubleshooting because it is my hobby.
4. I am proficient in Python and Java.
5. I am a foreigner.
6. I am 31 years old.

I hope you can advice me.

Thank you.

Are you a PR?
If yes, you can consider NICF Cyber Security PCP,

If not, you can take up relevant security courses at full price (no funding for foreigners),

Recently taken some interest in cyber security due to nature of my work. I am totally new to cyber security. My objective is to gain basic / build good foundation in security area so that it will help in my work and career.

May I know which is more for recognition and learning?

CompTia security+
CEH
ECSA
NICF CSA

After some reading, I thought compTia security+ would be good foundation course for me.
