Citizenship and passport are two different things. You take the oath and become a citizen and you then personally apply for passport.
Without a passport, you are a still citizen. You need the passport to travel.

I have good amount of my friends and their process (apply citizenship - approved - took the oath - passport received) took about 2 years and 3 months in Halifax.

اhi
not always, i have heard that it is different in some far provinces and they do not receive questionnaire which delay the process most of the tome.
