Online programs do not qualify for a Post Graduate Work Permit. So if you apply for a PGWP once you complete your studies, you should expect it will be refused.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...canada/work/after-graduation/eligibility.html

You aren’t eligible to apply for a PGWP if you:
  • studied in a program that was less than eight months long
  • studied for more than eight months but not continuously (for example, you took a semester off)
  • took part in a Canadian Commonwealth Scholarship Program funded by Global Affairs Canada (GAC)
  • took part in a Government of Canada Awards Program funded by GAC
  • had funding from GAC
  • took part in the Equal Opportunity Scholarship, Canada-Chile
  • took part in the Canada-China Scholars Exchanges Program
  • took part in the Organization of American States Fellowships Program
  • completed a study program by distance learning either from abroad or from within Canada or
  • already had a post-graduation work permit following any other program of study.
