I live in Toronto since June 2012.
My PR Card expired.
I applied for Renewal.
Renewal is still in the process.
I need to travel to United Kingdom for urgent private matter.
I hold Sri Lankan Passport.I need to apply for Visa to go to UK.
I need Temporary Travel permit to apply for VISA and and to return to Canada from UK.
Please advise me how to get Temporary Travel Permit and how to apply and whom to apply?
Thank you.

Hello,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
In terms of what you options are in this situation, you may want to contact the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Call Centre directly for some additional information.
You can also find some information on the CIC website in the I am outside of Canada and do not have a PR card. How can I return to Canada? section.
Here is an excerpt,
I am outside of Canada and do not have a PR card. How can I return to Canada?
Canada’s entry requirements are changing
Permanent residents (PR) of Canada must carry and present their valid PR card or permanent resident travel document (PRTD) when boarding a flight to Canada, or travelling to Canada on any other commercial carrier. If you do not carry your PR card or PRTD, you may not be able to board your flight, train, bus or boat to Canada.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your PR card is still valid when you return from travel outside Canada, and to apply for a new PR card when your current card expires.
Returning by private vehicle
There are other documents you can use to enter the country.
When you return to Canada, apply for a PR card if you plan to travel outside Canada again.
Some examples of private vehicles include, but are not limited to: a car, truck, motorcycle, or recreational vehicle that you own, borrow, or rent, and that is not available for public use.
Returning by commercial vehicle: airplane, bus, train, or boat
You must apply for a permanent resident travel document (PRTD), valid for one entry. Otherwise you may not be able to travel to Canada.
You can apply to replace your PR card when you return to Canada.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
