Is full-time contract employment counted as Canadian experience to apply for the PR.

[oshan9]

I finished my co-op, and the company offered me full-time contract employment for 8 months. Will it be counted as the Canadian experience?

Yes, work is work, for Canadian experience it doesn't matter what type of contract, part time or full time, or if it's continuous. Only thing to make sure is you are an employee not a subcontractor, i.e. you will be issued a T4, your company deducts your EI/CPP.

Is it on a work permit or study permit? Work under a study permit doesnt count for CEC. See link for other requirements
