Is it mandatory to get whatsapp chats translated by a certified translator? And how many pages chats needs to be provided? I have about 300+ pages

hi IRCC only wants the translation of documents such as certificates and affidavits. You do not need the translation for whatsapp chat.They justt want to make sure that you and your partner were in contact everyday.
Export the chat and save the notepad file.
and also few screenshots would work.
I did the same and they didn't ask me for translated chat. just the exported chat worked for my Spousal PR application.

Ah okay, because the document checklist clearly mentions that all proof of contact docs must be translated. Did you recently submit your Spousal PR application?

Appreciate your concern. Definitely the documents and certificates if they are in native language but I think the chats does not need to be translated. IRCC might be verifying if the partners are in contact.
And also what I did was- I made a pdf of all the screenshots of our audio/video call durations and along with this I also uploaded a chat of more than 300 pages notepad file :p, Instagram chat, snapchat chat, imessage if you use any of them for conversation
Yes I applied on Feb 2023, Have received PPR request on July 17 :)
