You can apply for PR after 5 years of your marriage,

So if you got married Nov 2009, then your 5 years - Nov 2014.

When you retain your rights, HO will issue new 5 years residence permit,

So for you to apply for PR, you'll need to submit your ex's proof of exercising treaty rights prior divorce (Decree Absolute) and your proof after divorce.

Hope it helps.
