Then you'll have to leave Canada.

Ok so why a lawyer tells me that he would take my passport and I do not need to leave the country?

I believe so. However, it's best to wait for more replies to your questions. Others who have done this will know exactly what happens.

As an aside even if the OP leaves Canada, with the refugee claim, the chances that even with a LMO that a Work Permit will be issued are pretty close to nil.

If I finish with my refugee claim, go back to my mainland, get there my passport back, can I enter Canada with valid work permit under LMO?

As PMM explained, it's unlikely a work permit will be approved - even if you have an LMO. To be approved for a work permit, you must demonstrate that you have strong ties to your home country and have no plans on remaining in Canada long term. The fact you filed for refugee status proves the opposite.

Thanks all again for your answers!

So, there is no chances for me to stay in Canada after refugee claim denied?
It's all about that I have was seeking refugee status?

That's the problem with playing the "refugee card". It's something of a one-shot deal.
Are you really a refugee or are you in fact an economic migrant?
Your willingness to abandon the refugee claim would suggest the latter.
