Not true as it is treaty between Canada and USA only
The difference between Canadain and US residents , citizens or foreign nationals is how thier data treated kept and circulated based on privacy act and the guides in both countries clarify it nothing supports what you said .
They share any info to protect homeland in any cases.
The part of AUS, UK, New Zealand can be under any other treatment but not Info Sharing .
Even to be more clear Info Sharing only mention US as partner. Plus each country have right to disclose or not what they find important to the case.
I explained based on facts and sources not just forum speech.

The member countries, namely: the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, agreed to share biometric data from applications for visa and other immigration benefits of potential immigrants to jointly combat illegalimmigration under the High Value Protocol Data Sharing (HVDS) initiative.Oct 21, 2015

The same process would apply in reverse when a third-country national applies to theU.S. for a visa or claims asylum. Biographic immigration information sharing is set to begin in 2013, and biometric sharing in 2014. ... Under the Treaty, information will not be shared on Canadian or U.S. citizens or permanent residents.

When you read clearly the data is not only about immigration as it show exit entry data plus conviction, again will explain you in another way how it works .
Info sharing is only between USA and Canada
Each country have thier own treaties specially Canada with crown countries such as UK New Zealand and Australia. And USA too both collect and enter into system for share in specific cases.
If what you say was correct how they bust convicted criminals and overstayers which are citizens, is for all including citizens and PR holders so they can recall it at any port of entry or Diplomatic office and others . Please read the info in Link and you will get more information. The page show they can’t share info to third part without consent of US or Canada the owner of info which makes that open share game with all western countries not true they send some info only based on case by case and with thier own legal discretion.

One thing you are right that the info sharing not apply to each other's permanent residence and citizens only apply to US and Canada, not the other three treaty members, namely UK, Australia and New Zealand.

What you shared can be true but not under Info sharing. As they use other methods to collect data.
Plus the citizens thing is only how they keep or circulating data in compare to foreign nationals.
As for example if Canadain citizens overstayed visa in USA is immigration violation whatever is citizen or not and thus would come up in info sharing exit and entry data if applied for PR in US or citizenship in case was only PR in Canada.
Also convicted criminals and wanted ones will show in this. Even logic will show that not only foreign nationals would pose threat to national Security it can be anyone there are many cases of entry denial to citizens based on fails admissibility screening between US and Canada.

And it takes millions to Collaborate from one country to another . What I know USA spent 4000 crores to start sharing data with Canada. I don't think any country will spend this much money only for info sharing .

Rest countries' do not share data as Canada is not free to check every person data in the computers
