I live in Canada, and I've worked here for less than a year. The employee contract I was given does not mention the amount of notice I must give. I seem to remember reading that if I have not worked a full year, I don't have to give any notice, but if they lose money because I quit without notice, they can sue. On the other hand, two weeks seems to be the norm.

I'm not really sure if there is a difference between canada's work ethics and the U.S. but the norm is 2 weeks. I never heard of them being able to sue you if they lose money but don't take my word for that..I don't want to be the reason you are geting sued! Your best bet is to give a 2 weeks notice and work it out that way if you ever need a job for some reason and that is your onl choice they will more than likely rehire you because you left on good grounds.

I hope you'll get the answer by browsing the web on Canadian labor law, if any. In my country an employee who wants to quit his/her job must give his/her employer a 30-day notice.

2 weeks is what you should give. Wether it is in your contract or not. You will want to use these ppl as a reference so leave on good terms.
