Do you have to take CX419? The first flight to CAN is CX982, departing at 7:55am. The first ferry to PFT is 3A170, departing at 8:15am. In both cases, the connection will be ~9 hours later.
What I am not sure is whether an overnight air-to-sea transfer is allowed.
https://www.hongkongairport.com/iwov...ferries_en.pdf says, for transferring at HKG to Mainland, the arrival flight needs to be on the same day. I recall seeing for sea-to-air transfer, pax on the last ferry can transfer to flights next day morning (although this also contradicts with this pdf file), but this may be an arrangement for those flights in the small hours.
Say, if you take CX419 and transfer to CX988 (dep. 20:10), I think you have a good case asking the bag to be short-checked to HKG, though again I cannot make any guarantees.
