If she was a sponsored spouse, she cannot sponsor you for 5 years after she became a PR.

There is no way to apply before 5 years ?

She can't sponsor you, no.

Nothing stopping you from applying under Express Entry or one of the PNP programs if you qualify for them.

This is to prevent sponsorship fraud, where someone "marries" a Canadian in order to be sponsored.
Then they "divorce" the sponsor and, as a new PR, marry and sponsor their "real" partner.
