You cannot apply for PR, as you have not acquired a 5 years residence.

The most you can hope for is Retention of Residence, which you can only acquire after divorce.

thank obie....must it be exact 5 year or can 4 years and 3 month apply for PR? this year will make it 5 year we have been from 2010 dec to 2015 dec.

U will b qualify in 2016 after 5 years married so u married 2011 so after 5 years from ur marriage . Better for apply for retain the right as obie told u .
