Hello folks. Was wondering if you could comment if I still have a valid h1b?

I was on a h1b in the US from 2015-17. Never applied for a US green card. I've been in Canada since 2017 and am a Canadian citizen now. Can I recapture my unused H1b time? This article suggests that I can - https://redbus2us.com/apply-h1b-after-6-years-to-recapture-unused-time-uscis-rule/

Thanks for your time!
Before six year is safest, I think they will grant it even after six years.
