I really need some help! As I contacted OCPM that they mentioned that my residence permit is linked with my employment. If I lose the job, I'm not allowed to live in Switzerland. And furthermore, my request of a look for job permit will be refused.  Below if the answer from OCPM. Was my understanding correct? 

" Votre autorisation de séjour actuelle est conditionnée à l'activité lucrative auprès de votre employeur. C'est donc le but de votre séjour actuel.

Vous avez le droit de déposer une demande d'autorisation de séjour afin de chercher un nouvel emploi, mais nous vous informons d'ores et déjà que nous refuserons cette demande "  

Hi Yaxin,
I am really sorry for your case.

Non-EU citizens have their living permit attached to their working permit. In case you would lose your job, you would automatically lose your living permit.

However, it may be possible to obtain unemployment benefits for three months or even till the expiration date of your permit if you worked for the past 12 months. If you have a degree from a Swiss University/school u can have additional six months to search for a job and in this case since you are allowed to live in Switzerland, and if so you will also be entitled to have unemployment benefits.   

At the immigration office, they may not provide you with the correct information and I suggest you contact the unemployment sector. Meanwhile, do your best to find a new job and during the remaining three months, you may find something else. Many years ago I was in the "edge" - my contract could not be extended, since the maximal time a non-EU can work at Swiss universities is eight years and I was informed about if six weeks before my contract expired, luckily I found something extremely fast - however, I verified all these aspects raised in this post.

I wish you all the best!!!!

Best regards,

Sorry Yaxin,

I am sure u know it:
Switzerland has restricted quotas for foreign workers - if the OCPM told you something negative, it means that the quotas were already fulfilled in GE - however, does not mean that it would be the same in other cantons....
If you really want to stay here, you could study something in Switzerland - however, do not feel sad about it! Life is really unpredictable :)

Other option would be to start an independent business activity and register at OCAS.

Thanks Kris! I will try this option as well!
