Probably a 6 month process.
If you were born after 1977 to a Canadian Citizen than you are a Canadian. The closest consulate will help. If I am correct you need your mothers birth certificate she does not need a Canadian citizenship card or passport at least that was the case several years ago when I got citizenship cards for my two youngest (they are dual citizens born in USA to Canadian parents). I just had to produce my provincial birth certificate.
Hope this helps
