Employment Notice Period

[coolguy2010]

Dear Seniors,

After getting visa and landing formalities, will the Canadian Companies wait for 1 month notice period if the person has not immediately resigned from his current job in other country.

I mean to say that person has gone for annual vacation to Canada and during this time he got an job offer. As per employment contract, he need to serve 1 notice period with existing company.

Will the new company in Canada wait for 1 month notice period....?

Appreciate your suggestions and advise.



Regards
Cool

There is no standard answer to this question.  It would depend on the job and how desperately the company needed it to be filled.  You might get some idea from the job posting as it might say "Required Immediately".  This would be something you would have to discuss in the interview, but it is VERY common for people here to have to work out their severance time before joining a new company.   Good Luck and I hope you find a great job.

...will the Canadian Companies wait for 1 month for the newly recruited to join them....?

Very very unlikely -- unless u r joing them as a Sr. Manager... and that too in a direct permanent position.

What I'm implying is that our 1st jobs would come against 'contractual offers', or 'temps. for leave vacancies', or in a lower position -- and employers [usually] would be in a hurry to fill those vacancies.

Yes, there's some sort of relief days... but it's not likely to be beyond a week or two, in most cases. Nonetheless, as Pippin opined - there's no harm in negotiating a bit; and if u r 'the' candidate - some leverage might be offerred.

Hope u got the point!
