Hi guys,
I have a huge confusion about contract position:
1) I have 2 years of working experience and my score is 430 right now with that experience, I'm changing the job now and the job which i'm about to accept is contract position which will be ending when my work permit ends (14 June 2019).I haven't received an ITA yet, am still waiting for score to go down which I think its not possible anytime soon,
Can I still consider this contract work experience for the additional score next year? Can I ask for a letter even though it will say my contract position is expiring on June 14? As Originally,my points will go up in May 2019; it will be based on 3 years experience !
2)To extend my work permit do I need a job ?

They don't care whether the job is contract or not. If it satisfies the requirements of the work hours, pay and duration, and if you manage to get the reference letter as per the requirements.

How about workpermit extension?
What kind of work permit do you hold now? Generally speaking, your employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA for you to extend your work permit.

I'm on open work permit, And I read about bridging open work permit (if you have applied under express entry)
You haven't received ITA yet. So you don't qualify for a bridging open work permit. You can only apply for a bridging open work permit once you have received ITA and have submitted your full PR application.
