What should be proper time for resignation from current company??

[nano24482]

Topic is self explainatory.

My current status is 'in process' with the rbvo details since 26th January.
What should be the right time for resignation: after one's medicals or once you get the visa???
Most of companies have notice periods. In my case it is 3 months.

Let seniors or those who have landed share their own experience and all those 'in process' discuss their views.

Once you receive the passport with the STAMPED CANADIAN VISA.

[Right]

DO NOT RESIGN EVEN IF THE VISA IS ON YOUR PPT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Reason:

** First go and land and test the water.

**If you like the environment (Job, Weather, Settlement,Culture etc) then

** RESIGN

You can even resigns from Canada bcos there is no labour law that says you can not resign at any point of time....Either of your employer or you can terminate your appointment at anytime so say the international labour law.. Am aware you may need to pay a certain amount in liue of notice.

However, should you dislike the place and want to come back and have a rethink, you will joyfully go back to your job. Mind you a bird at hand......

My 2 kobo advice.

In my case I cannot resign after reaching Canada. The thing is I recently took a long leave due to health reason. My HR and bosses were not very good with it. So if I took a big leave again than it would be as good as being terminated.

By early resignation I can get my PF and gratuity as I worked in same company for more than 7 years.

Though after getting passport seems good option, resigning after landing is out of question for me at least.

Seems you already made your plans and concluded with your decisions..

Wish you best of luck.

Resigning after landing is anyways is not an option (atleast not for Indian applicants). As rightly pointed out by you, you would want to withdraw your PF & Gratuity so that atleast you can use the money when required. Also you would want your experience letters & all.
A logical ending to your current job is very important, so that no liabilities build up in your absence.

Time of resignation would also depend upon how well prepared are you to leave after receipt of your Visa. Some people take less then 1 month, some take even upto 6 months before they can actually leave.

If you can manage without your job for few months (financially), then I would suggest resign after 1 month of submitting your Passports. That much time would be sufficient for knowing if their is any objection in medicals or otherwise. If not, then continue till you receive your Visa. But remember it takes 60 days before you can apply for PF withdrawal from the date of relieving & thereafter 2-3 months for the money to come into your account.

People have varied opinion on the timing, but frankly it depends upon your specific personal situation.
