Reema:

When your husband applying for open work permit .... same time you can renew your status to either Open Work Permit ( if you want to work) or Temporary Residence ( if you just want to stay).

You can apply for PR if one of you meets the current criteria for PR. It seems your husband studied only one year in Canada and never worked before in Canada .... hence he is not eligible to file PR under Canadian Experience Category (CEC). If one of you fits into current list of occupations listed for Immigration and have at least one year experience then in principle you will be eligible for PR. If not one of you need to have Arranged Employment.

Unless we know the total background of you people ( academic and work), it is difficult to give a specific advice.

Hi Reema...
