Would personally not suggest returning to your home country until you have PR because you may have difficult returning to Canada but yes you can return to your home country and use your home country passport if the whole family didn’t claim asylum only your mother did. Your mother should not use her home country passport or travel to her home country until she is a Canadian citizen. If her life was at risk then even traveling as a Canadian system could be very risky.

If you were in Canada and appears as Associate Claimant, you are subjected to the same conditions as of your mother. If your name appears on Notice of Decision then you are protected person. If you chose to leave Canada back to the country of origin, it is re-availment.

Poster was part of the claim, so he/she is Associate Claimant. Same rules applies and can not leave back to country of origin until becoming Canadian Citizen
