Not true, you need to have been resident in the country for the the last 5 years.

Dual nationality can be a no no in some places though, even if British.

Tell them the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
As soon as you lie, it's game over.

Funnily enough the DVA don't give up much inside information
But there is plenty of info in the public domain, and it's fairly obvious that SC is really just about proper identification; they want to know who you are without any doubt. In other words, Abdul Terrorist and Sergei Super Spy cannot pretend to be John Smith of Accacia Avenue.
As for CV, well most people stretch their job dates. DVA just want to know where you've worked for the last 5 years. They don't want your CV. Tell them the truth (unless you're Abdul Terrorist or Sergei Super Spy
)

If you do not have UK citizenship I don't believe you can be SC cleared...

You can see the kind of information that's required if you track down the forms on the DVA website, they're in the public domain.
