I have my oath ceremony next week at St. Clair, Toronto. Does anyone has any idea how much time the entire process would take?

Heard it takes 2-3 hrs. Approx 70-80 people at a time. 
Different locals may take longer or shorter

The ceremony procedures are standards and striaghtforward, usually you'll be done in 2 hours max. However, big ceremonies (large amount of people taking the oath) would add more time for initial papers check, handing the Certificates over, and taking pics with CJ or RCMP officer, so the more people the more time.
Mine will accomodate 400 applicants to take the oath on Dec 15th, i expect  3+ hours, but time doesn't matter for such a great day right?Smile

You guys I think you should be gratful, why are you concern about the time the ceremony will take as if it will be more than the time you have been waiting?? You waited 13+ month I thing even if the oarth ceremony takes the whole day or 2 its still a chance alot. Happy birth new born Canadians.

LOL @ Ben2009,
 
 Canadian citizenshipship ceremony is one of someone's great days, for some, is a life's change, for others, is a significant solution for big issues (becoming Canadian), for all, is a proud, and you are right, even if it takes 2 days, it deserves our time as it's once in life...
 
Good point Ben, and wish you the same soon.
