Is it required to send translations of passport stamps when applying for the citizenship. I am so confused about that. ??? ???

If your passport information or data are NOT in "English or french" then you might have to send them for translation before you submit your application.

No, only send photocopies of biographical pages. For interview though, you will need the certified translations of these stamps.

Thanks for your replies.

That such a great point. I quite agree with you about the early preparation of application because by starting early it will give enough room to review and adjust any information that you might need. I already started getting my application together since March..lol. CBSA report etc already done.

Thanks OJ for your reply.
is the CBSA part of the application process, or you just have it for your own confirmation and accuracy?
Thanks all again for your feedback, much appreciated

CBSA Report is just a detail analysis of all your outbound and inbound trips by air, sea or land. It helps to reconfirm the dates that you might have to put on your residence calculator especially if you do make lots of trips. You don't need to included it with your application.

Hi,

During the last 4 years I took a vacation and went to India. During this trip I had a 1 night transit stop in Dubai. So I have a stamp in Arabic on my passport. Do I need to get this translated? If yes, how do I go about doing it. I am in Toronto.

Thanks,

You need to get the stamps translated for the test/interview. Someone in this forum from Toronto area can provide the information where to get the stamps translated.

Hi,

I have a old passport which expired in 2010. My Canada immigration visa was stamped on the new passport which I use currently. Do I need to photocopy the old/expired passport?

Thanks,

You will need to submit photocopies of all your passport's bio-data that you have ever had expired / old included. Make sure to check the stamps on them also if they are in either English or french.
