I read in one of RICC guides, which I cannon recall its number, that quality check should be done on 1 out of 5 applications in random. By statistics, the probability is about 20% that an applicant will be caught in the process..
What do you mean by caught? If you lied in your application then yes, you can likely expect to be caught and not given citizenship. If you did not lie and you mean just 'caught' in the sense of having to supply information for the quality assurance, then you won't be in any trouble and can expect you will get your citizenship if you pass all the other criteria.
It doesn't make it harder, it only extends the process for the applicant. Unless of course, by harder you mean that the applicant might have to gather a little more information to satisfy the quality assurance portion.

Lots of people lie with their PR applications. Those lies are usually found out when they apply for citizenship because declared items don't match their prior applications.
I did not say that these quality assurance reviews were due to lying. I said there would likely be a delay to the citizenship application but it would be finalized without an issue, PROVIDED that there were not any discrepancies.
Yes, they are random, hence the letter saying you have been randomly selected to participate in our quality assurance program.
There are tons of people committing fraud by faking their physical presence in Canada. This was on the news. There are foreign investors who purchase real estate in Canada, and fake living there on paper. I don't know the details on how they accomplish this. Point is, using the quality assurance questionnaire, IRCC hopes to catch some of these cases by requesting proof of people's physical presence. It is debatable whether randomly picking applicants is truly effective in weeding out the fraudsters, however random pickings is the preferred method employed by IRCC.
There are humans working at IRCC and they too make mistakes. On this forum, there have been several cases of people who, intentionally or not, had errors and/or failed to disclose certain information on their PR applications, which may or may not have lead to their PR applications being refused. Yet, they still became PRs.
