Depending on what work you do, you might qualify for a work permit. However, in order to do this, your occupation must be on the "Occupation Shortage List". Other than that, I haven't found any other way of staying.

A lot of the people on this site had the same problem as you and are now staying as unmarried partners or spouses. Good luck though!
