Lost Job whilst on the QSWP due to COVID-19

[Allybear]

Hi everyone.

In a bit of a strange situation. So I got my closed work permit with my employer sorted out in December of last year. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 my employer has cut 80 percent of it's staff so I am out of work until I find another job. I have been offered another job that is 10 dollars less an hour but I am happy to do. Does my employer just need to apply for an A75 and I can go to the border and flag pole?

Thanks in advance

If you have csq, A 75 is the best option.

Border and flagpole aren't processing these requests, so online is the only one left. Once you apply you would be in implicit status and I suppose you can start working with your new employer (please confirm this part as with same employer you surely can, with a new one in implicit I am not very sure).
