By simply calling IRCC. They will tell you righte away.

It took me less than 10 minutes to submit my passport application in person at a Passport Canada Office. To those 10 minutes I add 10 minutes waiting time as if was not crowded. Therefore I don’t think you need a whole day off. You can just take half a day of few hours depending on the amount of...

I would say ‘no’ to the first question if i’m Illiterate (don’t have enough education to read and understand the questions) or if I am using the service of a representative (lawyer).

The most important is the truthfulness of the information you provided at the time you filled out the form. Any further changes in your situation can be notified to IRCC during your interview.

You can tell IRCC about this change during your citizenship interview.

Agreed

It won’t take that long. Usually IRCC receives in 3-4 weeks.

Agreed !

Not true! Only Canadian citizens have the right to vote regardless of the type of elections. Now, I heard stories of PRs who were mistakenly sent voter information cards, however I’m not sure if they had actually voted.

In the future use couriers like Fedex. They are faster, safer and more reliable!

My advice: send them the requested document and refrain from complaining. There’s certainly a reason why they are asking for your PCC for that country regardless of that you spent less than 183 days in that country during your citizenship eligibility period.

No. I strongly warn you against doing so. FP are not requested for everyone citizenship applicant. Your friend will receive a letter from IRCC request FP if they deem it necessary.
