Hey @archanajossy! Definitely do not lose hope! Yes, find a way to continue your normal life and even adjust your plans for the case of refusal, but somewhere at the back of your mind - keep your faith.
I can relate to your worries of not being able to take on a different route while your application is still in the air. My husband and I are definitely in the same position. We have been investing our time, money and energy for two years now into our application to Canada while we could have been embarking on different projects. As of now, we cannot start other business projects and learning opportunities as they require long-term commitment. Every day we are thinking about the opportunity cost of our application and cannot do anything about it. We are trying our best to live as much of a normal life as possible, but it takes a huge effort, I have to say, for sure.
Let's stay hopeful! Good luck to us and everyone who is still waiting!

She is in India right now. If she travels to Canada, she will be able to continue working in India. However, managing the time will be difficult. As a result, it is evident that it will not work. Furthermore, due of cross-border tax considerations, most organisations will not favour someone working from a foreign country. She is now doing nothing to address the professional gap; however, if the application is rejected, the career gap will become an issue. If she accepts a job and is able to overcome the visa issue, the employment will be temporary, and there will be penalties if she leaves the work during the trial period. All of these are scenarios that we encounter on a regular basis and believe that everything will be OK. We genuinely wanted to battle this till the bitter end, but as time passes, it's causing anxiety issues.
In the end, we hope tomorrow will bring good news. As a result of our excessive anxiousness and impatient waiting, we are feeling frustrated and fatigued. So we're just taking a step back and trying to leave it alone, and we'll make our peace when a decision is made.
But I know how upbeat you are. I truly hope that we all receive a favourable decision as soon as possible and that our big goal becomes a reality.
