Hi, would like some advice on my current situation. Almost a year ago, I applied to an IC agency and was going through the usual rounds of questions and interviews, and ended up making it to the final interview, but did not get the COE (this was in January 2025, right before the hiring freeze started; I think that might have something to do with it). However, throughout the process, my recruiter was unusually friendly, allowing me to pause and resume to address some of the issues I discussed with him, and even gave me his number to text. When my portal hadn’t updated for a long time after my final interview, I texted him for an update, and he seemed kinda sorry to tell me I didn’t get it and that the portal wasn’t really working, so there were no updates. With this in mind, can I reapply in the future (no SoR, suitability denial), and if so, can I ask him through text (our primary mode of communication) about how long I should wait before applying?
