No, unless the program is extended upon July. You can only apply within 4 months of the expiry of your PGWP.
The same with me, I wish the program is extended

Thanks for that but one of my friend who is in the same situation as me got his pgwp extension just last week.
He took a gamble and it somehow paid off.
Were you able to get the extension, kindly share your experience as I am in the same situation like you (pgwp expires in december 2021) and planning to take a chance on it.

Thanks in advance!
