Stamps translate
- Thread starter Elka
- Start date
Technically just the ones in the relevant period but honestly I would translate all. If the officer can't read the untranslated stamps then he/She can't verify if they fall within the relevant time or not thus you might have to get them translated anyway......
@Rigly68 , couple more questions, in case if you know:
1. Is translation required for visa stamps that have entry and exit dates in English, and also have the country/city names in English, but also have some foreign language words/text as part of the stamp?
2. My passport has notes in my native language that are not visa stamps, but rather observations such as my blood type, the address I was registered in the country I was born, and so on. Do these notes need to be be translated as well?
Thanks in advance.
There is no stamp translation required! They ask to translate stamp which shows passport renewal. "Note: If the validity period of your passport was extended, include a photocopy of the page(s) containing the extension stamp(s)." http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/CIT0002ETOC.asp#CIT0002E4 You should read instruction guide carefully. It has a lot of useful information.

Passport renewal stamps and their corresponding translations should be sent with the application.
Passport stamps (obtained at airports, ports, etc) outside Canada, should be translated and taken with the passport(s) to the interview, if you have one. Translation is only needed for stamps that are not in English or French.
Stamps that are self-explanatory, like those used in the European union countries, do not need to be translated.
