I have couple of Questions to ask while sending documents for Citizenship:

1) My daughter is 14 years old. Do i need to fill Authorised Representative form for my Daughter?
2) I need to submit PCc from other country. Do i need to submit Original or Photocopy of that?

I landed in canada in 2015 and went back. After 3 years i came back to canada on May 2018. I have started filing returns from 2018 and did not file income tax returns for 2015, 2016 and 2017 as i was non resident. Now i am filing my Citizenship papers.
I have It returns for 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021. I don't have IT returns for 2017 as i never filed being non resident.
My question is where to put tick in " Required to file" in Question 12. It should be Yes or No

Required to file should be No for 2015, 2016 and 2017 because you were a non resident and did not earn any income in Canada. You are only required to file when you earn an income therefore there is no income to report to CRA for that period. However, required to file should be yes for year 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 if you were in Canada and earned a taxable income.

1) No, you don't need authorized representative form for your daughter.
2) Submit color photocopy of the original

Online tracker status shows BG completed for my file. However, wife and child's file still says in progress. Is this Normal? Would it take a longer time for them to get BG completed?

When did your BG completed show up?

Wait up to a week for them to catch up.

Correct, Ghost update happened on Friday, nothing has changed since.

On the bright side, at least the date is updated to July 15th.

My own personal application, which was submitted online on 5th March still shows date of April 7th (the day they entered it into the system).

Even more weird, there has been a 2nd ghost update. But nothing has changed at all.

So first update was when application entered into portal.

June 15th

Ghost Update 1: July 15th

Ghost Update 2: July 21st

Nothing else changed in profile.

Any ideas what's happening?
