Hi everyone, I’m a refugee claimant in Canada(waiting for hearing). Can I travel to the USA for work? I have a meeting there that I must attend in person. My passport has a valid US visa, but my passport is with the IRB. Has anyone been in a similar situation? What options do I have?

No, you can not right now.

I had us visa which was valid until 2031. Ircc took my passport after claim. And later on I received an email from us consulate from back home saying that my us visa cancelled/revoked.

After I got refugee travel document I applied for us visa again and I got it for 10 years in Toronto. I travel there sometimes.

As previously noted not an option for a variety of reasons. If you leave Canada your asylum claim will be abandoned and you would have difficulty reentering. US likely canceled your visa or would refuse your entry due to the asylum claim.
