That rather depends on where from and why you are claiming refugee status.
 
I got the notice of decision from the immigration and refugee board of Canada and the claim is accepted and now i applied for the PR.
but the question is if i get a travel document and travel to Lebanon (not the country of citizen) im i going to have a trouble coming back Canada? is it guarantee to enter back Canada?

thank you

Where are you from?

And what the basis of you claim.
Based on the answers of these two question, we can give you advice on your prospective trip.
 
I am from Syria.... the case depends on violence in Syria.
and im travelling to Lebanon
is it ok?is there a chance that they revoke it when i come back?

In that case, you should be OK.
 
one last question...
Is it guarantee to enter back Canada when i come back?
Is there any possibility that they refuse to let me in?
 
Until you are a PR or a citizen, it's never 100%. There's nothing that you can do to guarantee reentry...
 
Can you please expand upon how you will go about obtaining the travel document? To be eligible for a PR travel document, you already have to be a permanent resident of Canada.

PR Travel Document can only be applied by an individual who has already as a landed Permanent Resident or completed such process internally in Canada. However, PR Travel Document can only be applied at a visa office outside Canada. You would be unable to get the travel document endorsement on your passport internally in Canada.

However, when in Lebanon, you will be able to apply for a PR Travel Document at a Canada Visa Application Centre in Beirut. This is because the VAC in Beirut does entertain applications for Syrian nationals. It usually takes a week to receive the PR travel document and I would recommend you do this first thing arriving in Lebanon. You will need to provide evidence of your status in Canada, such as a COPR/landing document and submit your passport with this application. The PR travel document is then received as a visa endorsement sticker on your passport pages.

If you are application is still 'in process', I am not sure you will be able to apply for a PRTD to return to Canada as you have not stated that you have received a PR visa endorsement on your passport, or completed a landing procedure to be considered a PR.

However, I am unsure if refugees are subject to the same passport control as ordinary residents are.

In any case, I will not recommend you travel outside Canada unless your status has been confirmed.

The OP is referring to a refugee travel document, which is different from a PRTD.
