Proceed to enreoute

[LonArcvarden]

Hi,
I was listening to a video of the Workshop and it seemed to me that I was missing an authorization compared to Canada. So I'm wondering if there is this difference between the US and Canada.
The video in question starts at 14 minutes.
Flight #2: "Exciting Enroute
From/To: Torrance, CA (KTOA) to Palomar, CA (KCRQ)
Route: LIMBO V64 V363 DANAH V23 OCN
Aircraft: A36 Bonanza (simulator)
Approach: RNAV(GPS) X RWY 24
Briefing: 17 min
Flight Time: 40 min
Debriefing: 4 min


My questioning: Mr. Keith takes off via KTOA vector radar, controller clears him Runway centerline, climb and maintain 5K feet. Then, Keith, as soon as he reaches 5K feet he proceeds to intercept the radial. It seems to me that in Canada after such a clearance we must continue on the assigned heading and altitude and not intercept until the controller has cleared you to proceed enroute...
So in the US after reaching the assigned altitude can we continue our route without waiting for this clearance?

I don’t have access to the video, but go back and watch/listen to the clearance again very carefully. I guarantee you missed something, likely along the lines of “fly runway heading until reaching…

I see how the "proceed enroute" step could be confusing if you missed the full clearance. Your clearance from the controller already included the radial and fix, so you were following the assigned route, not a vector. I learned that kind of detail mostly from my private pilot ground training, which cleared up a lot about departure procedures and what counts as an explicit instruction.
