Can I still apply for PGWP after Master graduation if I leave Canada to spend a gap year between Bachelor degree and Master?

Hi! Hope everyone is doing well. I just graduated from the Bachelor program this summer and left Canada considering the volatile situation we're facing this year. I'm planning to apply for a Master program, 2021 winter intake, and I also know there is a 180-day time span within which one is eligible to apply for PWGP, but the thing is I don't want to waste my opportunity for PWGP and I also don't feel like it's a good timing to start job seeking since many of my native classmates are even struggling, so I wonder if someone could let me know if I choose not to apply for PGWP this year, would I still be eligible to do so upon Master graduation. Thank you all!

Yes, you can apply for a PGWP after your master's if you complete an eligible program in Canada.
