Answer 1

In model:
Repalce
return $query->result_array();
With
return $query->result();
In View :
Repalce
<?php $countries = get_Country(); ?>
<select name="country">
<option>Select your country*</option>
<?php foreach ($countries as $country) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $country->name ?>" </option>
<?php }
?>
</select>
With
<?php $countries = get_Country(); ?>
<?php echo form_dropdown('country',$countries, 0,'required'); ?>
In Codeigniter Use Codeigniter From Dropdown

Answer 2

Your model is correct, but you do need to decide if you are going to access the data as an array or an object. That will dictate how you access your data in the View.
$query->result_array() returns an array
$query->result() returns an object
In your controller you need to use your model.
// Load your model into your controller
$this->load->model('your_model');
// use your_model method to set $data['countries']
$data['countries'] = $this->your_model->get_Country();
// You will access $countries in your view by passing it to your view
$this->load->view('your_view'), $data);
In your view, if you choose $query->result() in your model :
<select name="country">
<option>Select your country*</option>
<?php foreach ($countries as $country): ?>
<option value="<?php echo $country->name ?>"><?php echo $country->name ?></option>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</select>

Answer 3

Your controller didn't return anything, so need to modify controller as below.
controller :
public function get_Country() {
return $ctry = $this->job_post_model->get_Country();
}
and also your VIEW returning result as an array, you need to use $country['name'] in the place of $country->name.
VIEW:
<?php $countries = get_Country(); ?>
<select name="country">
<option>Select your country*</option>
<?php foreach ($countries as $country) { ?>
<option value="<?php echo $country['code'] ?>"><?php echo $country['name'] ?></option>
<?php }
?>
</select>
