Thanks Leon for the advice

What about the authorization to travel document ( which one can apply for outside of canada) is this recommended to Not really needed?

Cheers

A travel document is for people that need a visa for Canada. They have to be able to show either a valid PR card or PR Travel Document to be able to board the plane.

You are visa-exempt, so you can board the plane just on the strength of your passport, like a tourist. Do not state at the UK airport that you are a PR, as they may not let you board without seeing the proof.
