PR card has to be cut during oath ceremony. They asking so that they can reschedule your oath if your reason would be serious enough.

The PR card is a card held by canadian permanent residents.
You're no longer a permanent resident after your oath, and that card is rendered useless even if you somehow keep it and don't cut it during the ceremony.
You need to get a canadian passport for urgent travel, or as @forw.jane said, reschedule your ceremony.

Are you able to figure a way out? I am going to end up in a similar situation in few weeks.
One option is to postpone your oath.

You cut your PR card during the ceremony, just before taking the oath. If you are travelling internationally within the next two weeks, you should reschedule the ceremony. If you are traveling nationally (not to US or elsewhere), you can use another piece of ID.

It would even be hard to get an emergency passport in such short timelines (because you have to assume that there are no delays in getting you your certificate).

Anyways that is a long message to say that once you do your ceremony you aren't getting your card back.
