Question 5 ( c ) requires you to disclose all citizenships, permanent resident status, work visas, visitor visas, study visas, or any other immigration status (including Canadian status) held at any time since birth. You will definitely need to disclose ALL nationalities including Bolivia and Mexico. Additionally, you will need to disclose ALL passports or travel documents including those issued by Mexico and Bolivia

Remember misrepresentation by omission may be considered fraud and could have serious consequences

Yes, If IRCC finds out they can say you misrepresented facts on your application which can lead to a ban.

The generic answer to "IRCC is asking for something, should I tell them about it?" is obviously always yes.
