Are CIC officers aware of other countries' government regulations?

Hi,
I have a concern here. A study permit application form asks me for my National Identity Document and its validity period. In my country, Indonesia, it is called E-KTP or electronic Resident Identification Card.
The thing is, my E-KTP has its expiry date and an updated government regulation enacted several years ago states that all E-KTPs have lifetime validity period, including those who were issued before the new regulation was formed and still have their validity period on them. I have contacted the visa office in my region and they told me to fill in only the issue date.
I have decided to explain this on my SOP. Also, I'll be applying online. Will CIC contact government officials in my country to clarify about the aforementioned regulation? I sincerely hope so.

Not an issue. IRCC will not bother contacting your government.

Actually, THAT worries me.

They won't bother because they don't care. Non-issue.

I'm just kinda paranoid because I don't want to get banned for 5 years due to even the slightest mistakes in my application and being accused of misrepresentation. That's why I'm trying to make sure all of my documentations are genuine and truthful.
