Translating every Entry/Exit Stamp and hand written note in all our passports?

I have an upcoming interview (on Microsoft Teams) with an immigration officer to verify the originals of my documents as part of the Canadian Citizenship process. The main page of every passport i have is issued in both Arabic and English already by the issuing country.

My question is, do they need me to translate and notarize every ENTRY and EXIT stamp on every page of every passport me and my family of four ever held? A typical Middle Eastern passport would have entry and exit stamps that are partially translated, almost faded and surrounding by hand written notes (written by official immigration officers).

What should I expect or do in this case?

Stamps which you cannot interpret in either English or French needs to be translated. Stamps which are in Arabic and English need not be translated.
