Just to share what I told my wife to make the wait less agonizing
1) start learning about canada, its cities, culture, features, history and places
2) start learning French. Kelangan mo matuto ng French dito especially if you want to work sa government and hence, good paying jobs
3) study all your options dito like what kind of career you want to start, and the school programs na available
4) take as many TESDA courses as possible. Good for skills development and for killing boredom
5) spend more time with your family since di ko alam kung kelan tayo makabalik sa Pinas
