  Medyo curious lang ako at in dilemma na rin.. Haha..
  
  Can you please share your experiences? Thank you

  I just cornered my boss one Friday afternoon and told him I am going to Australia - if he can arranged me to become redundant, it would be very much appreciated.
  
  The redundancy didn't happen unfortunately though.
  
  It really depends on your, nothing wrong with telling it upfront. And you don't owe them any explaination as to why you choose to go on.
  
  All the best!!

  A bit difficult especially when have invested good working relationship with your boss.
  Well no choice but to tell the truth, like what Tas did corner him!
  or a nicer way is to treat him/her on a Lunch or Dinner then drop the bomb!

  Nung nagstart ako mag-apply for visa, alam na kagad nung boss ko kasi nagpapirma ako ng detailed COE. Wala pa ko balak magsabi kaso nagtanong e and di ako comfortable magsinungaling. Though small company lang kasi kami so ayos naman. gets naman nya bakit gusto ko umalis.

  di kasi kami mag ka-vibes ng boss ko at ayaw na ayaw niya ako nawawala sa paningin niya.. haha.. kelangan ko pa mag loan kaya di ako pwede mag resign.. then pag nagresign ako, ipapabayad pa yung mga trainings ng company saken.. mahirapan ako ma clear. although marami ako mandatory leave and vacation leave..
  
  well for now i decided to resign nalang.. effective immediately and applying yung remaining leave sa terminal leave.. hahah ay ambot. nakakafrustrate lang na walang graceful exit.
  hindi naman ako makapag leave ng matagal kasi ayaw niya talaga ako nawawala plus the fact na nasa kalagitnaan ako ng promotion..

  In my case naman, waiting for grant pa ako ngayon since Jan 25 but planning to make the move on April 9. When i was informed by our plant manager na merong promotion, i told him 3 days after that i am planning to migrate and we have invitation to apply for PR visa. Then i formally submitted official notice to our HR. Meron kasi upcoming big project at napakabusy sa March 2016 plant maintenance shutdown. I did not get the promotion and 8K salary increase but now, i am very happy with my decision.. alangan naman maging dead-busy pa ako when my focus has shifted already.
  
  I did not have a hard time telling them also because maganda relationship namin.

  Yung sa akin naman, alam na ng boss ko nung magpapaassess pa lang ako kasi need ko pirma nya para sa detailed COE. Kaya from time to time inuupdate ko sya kung ano na status. Minsan sya pa nagtatanong ano na status ng application. Kaya nung may grant na kami hindi na mahirap ipaliwanag. Kaya eto nag aayos na ng clearance para makuha yung last pay, COE and maclear rin sa company.

  Hi All. Napabasa lang ako ng thread na to kasi sobrang dilemma lang. Hindi maganda work environment ko ngayon at and I am very tempted to resign kahit hindi ko pa natatanggap ang visa grant (CO contact kami last August pero wala pa rin yung grant namin). The only thing holding me back from resigning is yung salary and medical insurance from this job. Napa-vent lang. Gustong-gusto ko na talaga mag-resign!
