Why did you apply for a open work permit when you are supposed to apply for a closed work permit because your AINP is employment restricted.

And also your lawyer is wrong. Your PR won't be cancelled. It will continue to process. Your only worry is your AINP. Since its employment driven, you are obligated to maintain full time employment with your employer.

Does your refusal letter say to leave Canada immediately?

This letter refers to your application for restoration of your temporary resident status and for a Work Permit.
Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused.
[X] A visitor, worker or student who loses temporary resident status for failure to comply with the following conditions imposed under:
 paragraph 185(a),
 any of subparagraphs 185(b)(i) to (iii), or
 paragraph 185(c)
may be eligible for restoration of temporary resident status if an application is submitted within 90 days after loss of status and if following examination it is established that the applicant meets the initial requirements for their stay and has complied with any other conditions imposed. In your case, you do not meet the eligibility requirements for a Work Permit; therefore you are not eligible to have your temporary resident status restored.
Your application for a Work Permit is refused.
[X] To be considered for a bridging open Work Permit (WP) you must be currently in Canada and submit proof that you have sent an application for Permanent Residence (PR) as the principal applicant under one of the following programs:
 Provincial Nominee Class (PNC )
 Caring for Children Class / Caring for People with High Medical Needs Class  Federal Skilled Worker Class (FSWC)
 Canadian Experience Class (CEC)
 Federal Skilled Trades Class (FSTC)
You have failed to meet the eligibility requirements for a bridging open Work Permit because you do not have valid status on a work permit that is due to expire within the next four months.

For further details on eligibility requirements please see our website at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/permit/extend/permanent.asp.
PLEASE NOTE: Your temporary resident status expired June 09, 2018. You no longer meet the eligibility requirements for a Bridging Open Work Permit under Section 205(a) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations. Prior to resubmitting your application please visit the Citizenship and Immigration Website http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/apply-who.asp to determine the requirements for a work permit.
[X] You may apply for restoration if, within 90 days from the expiry of your temporary resident status indicated above, you submit:
 a completed application form;
 applicable fees for restoration and for the immigration document(s). Payments should be made online at www.cic.gc.ca. When you are finished, you must print a receipt of payment and include it with your application. If you are unable to pay online, please contact the Immigration Call Centre, toll free, at 1-888-242-2100.
 all required documents in support of your application.
Please consult the section “Restoration of status” in the application guide: “Applying to change conditions or extend your stay in Canada”. Restoration applies to each member who has lost his or her status. Please note that there is no guarantee your application will be accepted.
Should you choose not to apply for restoration of your status, you will remain a person without legal Temporary Resident Status and as such will be required to leave Canada immediately. If you do not leave Canada voluntarily, enforcement action may be taken against you.

You will need to have your employer submit a LMIA exempt form online through IRCC website. They will have to pay $255 as employer compliance fee and once they submit the form, they will receive a employee ID through email.

Once your employer is done all that, you can apply to restore your status through a closed work permit. You must include the receipt of the compliance fee and employer ID which you get from your employer.

Also you must also inform AINP about your loss of status.

So you quit your job? Or you are on temporary leave until you get your work permit?

You must have a job offer until you get your PR because it's one of the conditions of AINP.

AINP can revoke your nomination and inform IRCC if they find out you don't have a job anymore.

They will hire me , if i have work permit
But i dont think they will have so much burden again for lmia application ,
They already did once and emplyoer is not good he torture me a lot while i was on closed work permit . So i dont want to do this .
Can i apply for visitor visa and wait for ppr?
Can i talk to cic or ircc and explain story of my struggle ?
Can i go to home country and wait for pr ?

You can go home or apply for a visitor Visa. Just know once your get your PPR and go for landing, CBSA officers may ask you to prove that you still have a job.
