@Mayuma Yes, just get a new sim card and login My Account to link the new sim card, this way, you will get to keep the phone number

get a Public Mobile sim card from

Amazon.ca: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06X9ZGDWG/ (Best and Quickest option, Free Prime next day shipping)
local Telus/Koodo/Mobile Klinik stores: https://www.publicmobile.ca/en/pick-up-SIM (call ahead to confirm availability )
Via your My Account: https://www.publicmobile.ca/sim-card or via PM app's Account page(Delivery could take anywhere from 5 days to 3 weeks)

Once you got the sim card, you can update the sim card number from either the PM app or My Account via the browser (After login, remember to resume service first if you have used Lost/Stolen to suspend the service earlier.):

If you are updating via Public Mobile app

login and go to Account page
(If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to receive the 2FA code: On the screen it is expecting you to enter the code, click Didn't get the code? or Resend code and then choose Send email)
click Change your Sim card and update your sim card number there

To update it from My Account via the browser:

login My Account to request Change Sim card
(If you are unable to login as you don't have a phone to receive the 2FA code: On the screen it is expecting you to enter the code, click Didn't get the code? or Resend code and then choose Send email)

Go to Profile page, click on the Pencil besides the sim card number, follow the steps to enter the new sim card number and complete the change sim card request
