Best way to 'keep' your house plants is to water them well for a couple of
days before you leave. Make sure the water drains and not soaking the soil.
Then wrap them in clear plastic garbage bags and seal them. Move them out of
direct sunlight. They will be fine for 2 months.

Ok so you leave for Ontario on April 15 and your plants are in a bag.
I guess that means they will have only been dead for 7 months when
you get back in January.
You don't "seal" the bag.
That said, I look after my friend's place when he heads to Texas at
Christmas and returns about Easter.
I water his plants about 2 times in that time. And his are not bagged.
