Citizenship application: translating stamps

[alxms10]

Hey guys

I have read enough threads on this forum to understand that I need to translate stamps on my passport? But my question is: which of the following do I need to translate:

1. every stamp on all my passports (which is not practical I guess); or
2. every stamp in the last 5 years (before signing the application); or
3. only stamps related to entry and exit from Canada within the last 5 years (before signing the application)?

If it's number 3, do I need to include and translate all entry and exit stamps starting from my home country through transit countries? To elaborate, I'll give an example:

Assume my home country is H, my transit country is T and then there is Canada. So for my two entries to Canada within the last 5 years, I did the following:

I left H, entered T and stayed for few days, left T, entered Canada and stayed for few weeks, left Canada, entered T and stayed for few days, left T and finally entered H. Do I need to translate the six stamps though H and T?

NOTE: The second time I entered Canada, I didn't leave; I only left Canada once within the last 5 years

You need to translate any document you submit that is not in English/French and the document checklist says "Colour photocopy of all pages in your passport(s) or travel document(s) during your five (5) year eligibility period, including the biographical page." Guess what you need to translate.

No need to consult strangers on some random website. Follow the instructions that you receive from IRCC. They are quite clear on the matter.

EVERY stamp that is not in English or French on any page of any passport that was valid during your eligibility period has to be translated by a certified translator.
