The Hedley frontman filed an application seeking leave to appeal his case to the Supreme Court of Canada last week.
Hoggard was found guilty in June 2022 of sexual assault causing bodily harm against an Ottawa woman and later sentenced to five years behind bars.
He was released on bail hours later pending an appeal to the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
A three-judge panel ultimately upheld Hoggard's conviction last month, and he surrendered into custody.
He is set to seek bail at the Court of Appeal today as he seeks leave to appeal at the Supreme Court.
