How can CIC know about previous residencies/citizenships?

What tools CIC officers have to identify that someone has or had few years ago an immigration status or citizenship in a European country if the applicant never really lived there and had legitimate addresses in another country? Are there any bi-multilateral agreements, databases etc?

They won't be able.

I don't see the point in your question. It's like asking "How can the CRA even find out about my offshore acounts?"

Simply declare all the statuses and citizenships, just like your offshore accounts in the tax return
