do not take my experience as it was not that good. i wish others help you. the oath is really fast these days, some people received the letter 2-4 weeks after the test.
when did you apply? have you received the test invitation?

Sure!

7.45 - Drive over to the center. Friend lives very close it was easy, since I stayed at her place.
8.10 - Arrive after heavy traffic and go into building
8.12 - Waiting in line in the CIC office. Lady checked my PR card, invite letter, and told me to go sit in the test room
8.15 - This was the test time indicated on the paper, and I was inside the room by this time
8.20 - Lady comes in and starts reading rules and regulations for 10 minutes, in both English and French. She also answered some questions people had.
8.28 - Test is handed out, and we have to keep them upside down
8.30 - Test starts
8.34 - I walk out of the room, having finished the test and go sit in the waiting room.
8.40 - I get called to the interview booth

Interview details:
1. CIC officer greets me. Congratulates me that I got 20/20 on my test. Asks me for my two pieces of ID, PR card, and COPR form.
2. She gives them back to me and asked for my passport.
3. One by one, she goes through the passport to check the times spent outside of Canada.
4. She skipped the ones that didn't have stamps - which were all the US exit and Canada entry/exit ones.
5. Hands me back my passport and asks some questions.
6. Questions asked: Do I have a criminal record, or had any trouble with the law? Do I have any family in Canada? Where is my family right now?
7. She then writes "no concerns" on the comment box in her form.
8. Tells me that she will be granting me citizenship, and that I should hear from them within 1-3 months about the ceremony.
9. I say Thank you and goodbye!
10. I have the biggest grin on my face.

8.55 - The grin continues as I exit the room, get into my car.
9.00 - Exit the parking lot

Soooooo close, I can taste it :)

Hope this helped.
