You can take both test and interview outside Canada without any problem.
They can even accommodate oath outside if it's a medical scenario.

Thank you so much for your reply,I just saw that those who took the exam outside canada experience a delay in their application,I’m thinking about going back to canada for a month,and one more question,how long does it normally take to get an interview after test completion?
Thank you

They send you a website link so I honestly have no idea how they know if you are taking the test in Canada or not.

This is not a good idea, anyone can tell from your IP. Irrespective of that, physical presence check comes right after test and they notice these things on the travel history.

There already went through a series of citizenship fraud cases in the 2010s and they're not going to take these things lightly.

Just follow the instructions on the invite. Stupid stuff like this will make sure your application will be categorized as misrepresentation and you'll be either thrown out, never to come back again and have to wait 5 or 10 years before you can reapply for citizenship.

If you're outside you'll need to be proactive in tell them (during the interview if you get one or by email) you'll return for oath at any time they schedule.

People living outside get oath invites as well.

Also note that if you take the test in Canada, you are less likely to get an interview. On the other hand, a lot of people who take the test outside get interviewed later on.
