Go to www.cic.gc.ca and then click on Policy and regulations Blue Box then click on Policy and Program Manuals then Overseas Processing then OP1 then read section 5.17 You only need to be admitted legally for one year you do not have to wait until you have actually resided their one year.

Yes, you can apply right now, here is what CIC says. The emphasis is on the example in the second paragraph:
"Persons who are applying for permanent residence must be residing in and have been legally admitted for a period of at least one year to the country which the visa office receiving the application serves. The applicant is not required to have been residing in the country for one year at the time of application, but to have been lawfully admitted to that country for a minimum oneyear period at the time of application.
For example, under R11(1), an individual may have lawfully entered and be currently residing in a country on the basis of a one-year work permit. Anytime during that year, the individual would be eligible under R11(1) to apply for permanent residence to Canada through the visa office responsible for applications from the country in which the individual is residing."
