Canadian PR applying for British Citizenship

Dear All
This is perhaps a question already discussed on the forum, but I could not find anything about it in search...I am completing now the online naturalization application, and there are questions about current and previous citizenship, but it seems the form does not ask about other immigration statutes in other countries.
I have Canadian Permanent Resident status (for many years already, as I am married to a Canadian Citizen), and it seems weird to me that the application form for naturalization does not ask me to disclose information about my Canadian PR status? I remember the same story was when I applied for ILR...
Am I overthinking things, and if there is no such question then I do not have to provide information about being Canadian PR in the application?
Many thanks!

You just have to prove you have been residing in the UK for the qualifying period and hold ILR if not a EEA citizen, or EEA PR if you are a EEA citizen. It doesn't ask for PR in other countries. It does ask for your current nationality (could be multiple).

You are over thinking it. Your Canadian PR card has no relevance to your ILR application and there is no need to submit it. You only need to submit your passports.

Many thanks for the answers!
It seems I am consistently overthinking things in each application. :)
