Question: so are students studying online in fall 2021 eligible for PGWP? and do they need to apply for study permit to be eligible for PGWP even if fall 2021 is going to be online?
on some websites it is written:

"It previously only applied to students who began their programme online between May and September 2020. Now, students who start remotely in any semester from spring 2020 to fall 2021 are eligible for future PGWP application, too — as well as those with a study permit, study permit approval, or study permit application that is eventually approved. "
also :
"If you currently live outside of Canada:
If you can’t travel to Canada at this time and you’re taking your classes online, you’re still eligible for a PGWP if you meet all the standard PGWP requirements and
  • you’ve been enrolled in a program that was in progress during winter 2020, or
  • you’ve started or will start a program between spring 2020 and fall 2021, and
    • you have a study permit, or
    • you’ve been approved for a study permit, or
    • you applied for a study permit before starting your study program and you eventually receive an approval
All your time studying online outside Canada between spring 2020 and December 31, 2021, counts toward the length of a PGWP. "
