Certificate of sponsorship number is the one your employer assigned to you when you applied for the visa. You should see it on the forms that you filled out or the copy the sponsorship certificate your employer gave you while applying for the visa.

You will need to make sure that the new employer has the sponsor license so that he could issue you a certificate.

You just cannot switch a job with out your employer issuing you a sponsorship certificate.

And yes your existing employer can revoke the job or certificate.

As far as i know you do not need to request a COS for extension. You will apply with the same COS that was assigned initially.

If you employer is planning to get new employees then we will need to request those.

Thanks
