First get a Work Permit, then think for ILR, current rule you have to complete 5 years on work permit or 10 years lawful residence(in your case September 2016 !!!!!!) long way to go. Immigration Rules are changing couple of times a year.

Earliest 2016 as per 10 year rule.
Or according to current rules, if you spend 5 years on WP you'll get ILR
