Hello there! I have a question and i hope somebody could me help me with it, well i have a stamp on my passport from 2012 and its not in English. I came to canada in 2013 so right now im getting everything ready for when i have to send my citizenship application, my question is if i need to get that stamp translated to English? I dont know if im expected to send a translated copy of it or if they dont need it since is from a year before arriving to canada.

Things that happened before you became PR does not matter, and I don't think you need to send copy of all pages of your passports, only biographical pages (I think).
When I was renewing my PR card I sent all pages and I had multiple stamps in different languages and different scripts. I have not translated them and had no issues.

How world they know if the stamp was dated before your arriving date to Canada?
I think you should translate all non English and French stamps at least to prove that they are not after your arrival date.
