I submitted my portal2 answer on April 10. Im still waiting for the ECOPR and for my PR card.
I have a planned trip by July 2nd. Not refundable ticket. (Ouch).
I think by that time I already receive my ECOPR, But the PR card?
I still can travel with my RTD and notice of decision?
Not possible travel by land. It's not USA trip. Must take a flight.
Similar experiences? Please share. Thanks.

If you receive your eCOPR while abroad, or you travel abroad after getting your eCOPR but before getting your PR card, you won't be able to board a flight to Canada before first getting a PR Travel Document from the Canadian embassy at the country you're visiting.

But I have a valid refugee travel document.

That doesn't matter, as a permanent resident you're required to have your PR card or a PR Travel Document (VISA like single use sticker placed in your travel document) before boarding a flight to or entering Canada.
 
If you do somehow board a flight to Canada as a permanent resident without having your PR card or a PR Travel Document (Airlines aren't supposed to let you board like that), it is up to a CBSA officer's discretion to admit you into Canada if they're satisfied that you're a PR.
