You can certainly sponsor your mother for PR if you meet the income requirements and once you are selected as a sponsor out of one of the parent / grandparent sponsorship lotteries. Her status in the US will not be an issue for getting PR approved.
The super visa is more complicated since it is only a temporary visa. Most likely your mother would be refused based on her status in the US. However you could certainly try to apply.
In both applications, make sure you are 100% honest about your mother's immigration history, the refugee claim, and status in the US.
I am looking to apply for her super visa. any other option has then please suggest me.
You can apply and wait to see if approved. That is her option. You can go visit her.
You can certainly try applying for the super visa. Again, the chances of refusal will be very high but you can certainly try.
The only option available where her status in the US will not be an issuing is sponsoring her for PR through the parent / grandparent sponsorship program - or alternatively having her apply for PR on her own (assuming she qualifies and can be selected) through an economic immigration program like Express Entry.
Good luck and hope this helps.
How long has she had refugee status? Does she have a green card or even US citizenship that would help a lot. Is she working? Own a home? Have a good amount of savings, etc. All of these things may help her chances of getting a supervisa. Unfortunately you may have to wait until you qualify for PGP and the EOI opens again and get selected. That could easily be 10+ years.
Per the OP's post, she's on a work permit in the US so would not be a green card holder or citizen yet.
Missed that. Seems odd that if approved for asylum they are still on a work permit. Maybe the approval is very recent because after 1 year you qualify for a percent resident card
