Hi,
Just from my experience:
If you go to a certified translator (at least the one I went to in Mississauga), you don't need to do any of steps 1-3. The translator copied the whole passport in clearly, attached a table of contents at the beginning with summary of the stamps, put the whole thing together in a neat file).
I did it before my test so I didn't need to do points 4 or 5. Btw passport and translation were the only documents the officer looked at in our 45 min interview. He kept the translations at the end of the interview.
Another point, the Arabic stamps in my passport were from an Egypt vacation before I landed in Canada.
