HELP! PR application rejected and Work Permit still under processing!

Hi Guys,
I have been in Canada for 3 years and received my ITA in January 2017.

I submitted all my documents through an immigration lawyer in March. Since my passport was about to expire, i decided to renew my passport and then apply for my BOWP. My work permit was to expire on May 8th and i applied for my BOWP on April 28th after renewing my passport.

I received a response from the CIC officer on June 6th that my PR application had been rejected due to the reasons below:
"
With respect to your reported work experience for Company X, the supporting documents provided by you do not list the actions and duties you performed during this period of work. Therefore, I am not satisfied that you have performed actions and duties consistent with the stated NOC (0621).

With respect to your reported work experience as a Public Relations Manager for Company Y, the limited duties described in the reference letter provided by you dated 27FEB2017 appear more in line with those of NOC 6521 – Travel Consultant, which is not a NOC 0, A or B level occupation.
Consequently, I am not satisfied that you have completed at least one year of full time (or equivalent part time) work in a NOC 0, A or B level position in Canada within the three years before you submitted your application for permanent residence.
"


I want to reapply my application as my employer is ready to add the points which i performed that are missing from the letters that should qualify me as skilled for Company Y above . Seeing the previous cut offs i should qualify for the ITA in the next round as well. I am just not sure how long i legally have to stay in Canada and re apply seeing that my work permit expired on May 8th and if i get the rejection on the work permit as well.

Can i still stay for 90 days to work things out (Aug 8th)? Also is there a better solution anyone has in mind?


Thanks

Update:

My PR application was rejected due to some missing job duties on June 6th and because of that my work permit was rejected as well. I received the work permit rejection on June 15th. I want to re apply for my PR as soon as possible..
I have the following questions i need an answer to on a urgent basis as i am getting very vague replies form my lawyer and CIC:

1) By when exactly do I need to leave Canada legally? I have been hearing "as soon as possible" which is very vague as i have to close all accounts and work related formalities, book my flight tickets at a reasonable price etc.

2) I thought i had 90 days to restore my status but my lawyer told me it is not applicable on me since i have received an answer on my permit. Is it true?

3) What is the best option for me considering the above?

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Please help.
I have received an experience letter from my previous employer stating my duties below. I claimed points for NOC 3212 although I have a Biochemistry degree. Please does this letter appear insufficient for my claim. I have also listed the duties for NOC 3212 based on the CIC website below. I think my NOC code should be 3211. Do I change the code and add it in the LOE? The previous code for my main duties was NOC 3212. Thanks.
