Yes, the full form literally is Permanent Resident Travel Document.
It is valid only for a single entry.
No. A travel document is a passport or a document issued in place of a passport i.e. a refugee travel document. A PRTD is neither of those.

Travel document
An identity document issued by a government or an international organization (such as the United Nations). It contains a person’s photograph and personal information, and allows that person to travel between countries. See Passport.
Actually it usually one is for just one entry.

Yet it is a document that can be used to enter Canada in lieu of a PR card. Maybe they could’ve named it something sans the words ‘travel document’.
As long as the person applies for a PR card on their return. Can’t be used continuously with a passport or in place of one.
No, it is not a document used to enter Canada. It is a document used to board a plane to travel to Canada. It cannot be used in place of a passport to travel.
HI
1. You should note that they will issue multiple entry PRTD's to PRs who reside permanently overseas with Canadian spouses, and who wish to travel to Canada frequently.
Because they may well have expired PR cards but meet the Residency Obligation requirements. You can't apply to renew your PR card from outside Canada.
