Is the process for assigning a new CoS and a renewal CoS the same?

New CoS vs. Renewal CoS.

Assigning a Certificate of Sponsorship (CoS) follows a similar process whether it’s a new application or a renewal - but there are some key differences to keep in mind.

🆕 New Applications

  • Assign a new CoS from your current allocation.

  • Provide all worker and job details from scratch.

♻️ Renewals

  • Assign a new CoS for an existing employee.

  • Some details may be pre-filled from the previous CoS, but review and update everything carefully.

  • Assign the renewal CoS before the worker’s current visa expires (ideally 2–3 months in advance).

✅ Key Points for Both

  • Always perform a Right to Work check before sending any sponsorship offer.

  • To assign the CoS, click ‘Sponsor’ on the Borderless Home Page or inside the employee’s profile.

  • Make sure all information is accurate and up to date.

  • For renewals, send the sponsorship offer through Borderless 2–3 months before the visa expires.
