It depends, that rule went into effect in 2011 I believe, so you would have at least until 2015 before you can hit the 4 year term.
This regulation is not retroactive – The clock starts ticking on April 1, 2011, for all TFWs, regardless of how long they have already been in Canada.

MY PGWP actually started on summer of 2011, and expiring next summer. Hopefully, I can get a 2 year extension.
