Are contractual jobs valid for Ontarion PNP?

I have already been working at a full time position for around 5 months, now I am getting a better job opportunity but it is on contractual basis for 6 months which they may extend it later on based on performance.
Can I combine my initial 5 month experience and this contract based experience and still apply for Ontario PNP? Or, is this contract going to effect my application?

if you are applying under oinp which is currently closed , they require you have a permanent and full time position .

Yes, It counts as long as you fulfill hourly requirement.

FYI, I am a contract worker and received OINP nomination.

It depends which OINP stream you are talking about. If you're talking about one of the express entry streams (e.g. human capital priorities), they is not employer-driven, so it does not matter whether you have permanent, contract, or no work at the time.

Not sure if the stream has re-opened yet - I don't think so - but in any case, you cannot apply unless OINP sends you an invitation to apply (last year, you needed a CRS over 400, we don't know if that will change if that re-opens).

Do you have 67 points to be eligible based on ECA and IELTS. You can use contfact experience if you have one year of full time continuous experience and can prove it with reference letter, pay stubs and bank acccounts.

You are posting under Ontario PNP So wrong section.

What is your ECA equivalency and IELTS scores. That will determine eligibility too. Do you have reference letters, contracts, pay stubs, receipts to prove you do those jobs. Do you have one year of full-time continuous experience?
