Do we need to be in Canada to take the online oath ceremony? Can we delay the oath to another date ? Howmany days do we have to apply for Canadian passport after we receive the Citizen certificate by mail?

Yes. Yes. As many as you like, you don't have to apply for one if you are not planning to travel outside of Canada.

so i can travel with PR even if i receive certificate of citizenship?

You will need to destroy your PR card during the Oath ceremony. To travel outside Canada and come back you will need a Canadian passport (or a passport of some other country, if you have or will have dual citizenship)

Yes, you have to be in Canada for the oath. You will be asked to confirm your location before the oath starts. You will also be asked to cut up your PR card on camera during your oath ceremony, so you cannot travel with it. You have to wait for your citizenship certificate to be mailed to you, you can apply for a passport via mail, no time crunch. Right now it’s pretty quick, and you can get a passport within a month, assuming all your paperwork is in order.

thank you for your reply. For the citizenship test, do we have to be on camera all the time or just take photo to show ID?
Can you not just read the rules? All these questions are answered there. Or you prefer others to read the rules for you and explain instead? ;)

No, you have to read the Discover Canada study book first and foremost. Use the website you gave or others as a refresher, but start with the actual official test source.
