Below is from IRCC's website :

Notifying candidates: Notice to appear to take the oath of citizenship
Citizenship staff should send the “Notice to Appear – To Take the Oath of Citizenship” form [CIT 0024 CIF2] to candidates who have met all the requirements for citizenship. This notice should be mailed to the applicant at least 14 calendar days before the ceremony so that it reaches each candidate at least seven days before the ceremony.
The notice indicates

• the location, date and time of the ceremony;
• the documents the candidate must bring with them to the ceremony:
  • notice,
  • personal identification,
  • IMM 1000, IMM 5292 or IMM 5688 form,
  • permanent resident card [PR card],
  • a holy book of their choice, if they wish to use one to swear the oath of citizenship)

No where it says passport specifically as personal identification. My guess will be a valid driver licence should be ok as ID.

I didn't take my passport and it was not needed. You will need to take your PR card as they check and take it away.

Based on the requirements on ircc website, passport is not needed for oath ceremony.
