I’m planning to remotely work a job, and stay abroad for a while ? So I studied here two years. So do I have to apply for a work permit ? Or I don’t because it’s a remote job ?

No work permit is required to work abroad for a Canadian company.

That's more a question for your country and how the employment relationship is structured. Contractor, employee, etc.

Can a person be employed by a company directly which are some of this companies

well this is something that required training in person. I worked for them, for a year so I’m eligible for remote work. Well its something related to front end development.

As long as you aren’t planning on counting the time working abroad to get PR it is fine.
 
yes, but I think the remote work wouldn’t add to experience, it has to be inside canada I suppose
It will add to experience - but not to Canadian work experience. So if you work remotely for a year, you can use that work (assuming it's NOC 0/A/B, and meets the definition of work - paid, etc) to qualify under the FSW class. You won't get any extra points because it happens to be a Canadian company - it will simply be treated as foreign work.

The following may be repetitive question. But, I just wanna clarify this.

I have a open work permit, and I work (NOC-A) for a Canadian organization . I need to stay in a different country for about 2 months. During this period, I will be working remotely. I will receive pay stubs for these 2 months, and taxes will be deducted in Canada. Can this 2 months be counted as Canadian work experience?

TIA

Its two months so you should be good, I on the other hand will gone for quite a time, so I'll have the pay setup in my country of residence bank account, so that I dont end up owing tax to two countries
 
Has this job started? It is hard to tell based on your previous posts.
Not yet I just submitted my application for pgwp, I’m with the company but not converted into a remote employee, want to get some stuff done, and well I’m a bit confused should or should I not leave, Canada is like my guilty pleasure lol.
