Question on the passport pages to submit (for the interview)

[Grand Jumper]

I have received the invitation for the interview, but I have questions about the required document. Should I submit all the pages of my passport, or just the pages that contain stamps covering the five (5) year eligibility period?

it should say on the request form. If it says all pages then provide all pages (even blank ones). You’ll also need to provide translation of any stamps and visas that are not in English or French.

Thank you. But they are ridiculous, I got the invitation yesterday, and I have to deliver all the pages and the translation by May 25th, but it's the long weekend, the translation agencies start working on the 25th !

I received aninterview letter on May 21, 2021 but it doesn't says that the visa pages in passport have to be translated. Does your letter say so? I don't think it is needed.

Yes, I'm sure, all passport pages are requested, if there are any contents that are not in English or French, they must be translated. Instructions are on the last page of the letter.

Perhaps you are not asked to provide the passport pages?

It should be on the same page as the header "NOTICE TO APPLICANT - REQUEST FOR SUPPLEMENTARY EVIDENCE ":

Note: Any documents that are not in English or French must be accompanied by:
 the English or French translation; and
 an affidavit from the person who completed the translation.

Its not required for all hence it varies.

Hey folks, do the passport copies need to be notarized? Or is translation sufficient?

Need a certified translator or a translation with a Notary Public affidavit.

My interview request also did not say anything about translations. I'm also trying to figure it out. I will be calling the call centre first thing tomorrow to ask. Good luck with your interview.

Guys, anything not in English or French must be translated. If you are submitting pages of your passport and they have stamps that are not in English or French then you must get them translated. Do not delay the translation until the last minute.

Here is the exact requirement from IRCC web-site Citizenship application: Translation of documents:

This section is about the policy and procedures for the translation of documents that accompany citizenship applications submitted to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) through consular missions abroad by persons living outside Canada and citizenship applications submitted directly to IRCC by persons living in Canada and the United States (U.S.).
Policy
Any document that is not in English or French must be accompanied by

• the English or French translation; and
• an affidavit from the person who completed the translation, if required.

Translations by family members are not acceptable. A family member is defined as being a parent, guardian, sibling, spouse, grandparent, child, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew or first cousin.
Note: An affidavit is a document on which the translator has sworn, in the presence of a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the place where the affidavit is sworn, that the contents of the translation are a true translation and representation of the contents of the original document. Translators who are certified members in good standing of one of the provincial or territorial organizations of translators and interpreters of Canada do not need to supply an affidavit.
Original documents may be requested later in the process by an officer.

Do the passport page copies that we submit have to be in colour or in black & white is fine as well? I am asking especially for translation as my translator will provide certified translation copy in black and white only. Any advice is appreciated.

I had the same thing. I provided colour photocopies of my passports but the translator provided black and white copies in their affadavit.

I submitted both and had no issues. Soon after submission, they changed my oath ceremony status from "not started" to "in progress" and provided me the date of my ceremony.
