This is a very tricky situation given the timeline. AFAIK, if you get a Canadian passport, then you have to rescind your Indian passport. Without that, you cannot get a visa to India. All of this takes time. After Oath, it takes avg 5-7 business dates for Citizenship certificate to arrive, then you will apply for Canadian passport. After that you will rescind Indian Passport and then apply for Visa. Too much to do in such a short frame.

Also somewhere I read in the forum here, that you cannot exit and enter using different passports. It will be flagged in the system.
Regarding the PR card, someone already answered.

I think the only option is to explain the situation and ask for postponing of the oath ceremony.
Do you know anyone who did so recently?? Like how long would they postpone the oath ceremony… would they consider meeting his son after 7 months an inevitable travel??

Someone I know got their visa for India in one day on an emergency basis. You should definitely get in touch with Indian consulate. I know they're very compassionate when it comes to these things!

Hi I got the invitation for the test
 
Dont worry, at the end everyone is going to have the same average sort of time.
See my timeline, I did my test at January end and no update since then.
You might get a test invite and everything can go pretty fast from there.

You are right, I just got the test invite.
