Schottkey defect is the vacancy found in the crystal lattice of ionic compounds due to size difference in cations.

Here, we know that Ca is a divalent cation and remains as Ca+2 while silver is a univalent cation and remains as Ag+ .

So, when CaCl2 is added to AgCl, then one Ca+2 ion will replace two Agions which will create a vacancy in place of one Ag+ ion and so there will be the Schottkey defect in the compound.
