IMO she's setting the stage for a Canada return. She needs to do a another visa run sometime in January and this timeline works pretty well for the upcoming excuse/lie. She'll sell this to her audience as a temporary stay just to fix her diabetes and will reunite with her romance scammer-bot husband because he's the love of her life
Edit to add: of course she could do the opposite because she sits and reads the Farms, Plebbit and Xwitter and has to outsmart all the haydurs by doing the opposite. Truth is, Chantal - you either go home where you have family, a friend (Peetz) and "free" healthcare or risk the last year of your life preparing to be a giant bloated corpse rotting in the desert. There's no way Salah would even drive the Tiggo out to your grave to mourn you.
