In Canada on work permit, when can apply for PR?

[jrs_mumbai]

Myself and my wife (Indian Citizens) arrived in BC, Canada at the beginning of April 2011 on work permit status. I have been working since then with my current employer.

We want to apply for PR and would love to know the process from within Canada? Is it different than from outside Canada?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
