Turkish stamp in passport and citizenship interview

My advice: have all concerned stamps translated. Because if your file is being handled by a zealous officer, not translating some of these stamps will cause a delay in the processing of your application.
I believe you can find a translator in your community.
Play it safe by having translated all stamps that are in languages other than English or French.
In my passport at the interview I had (all on a single page):
- one Turkish 90 days visitor’s visa sticker, both in English and Turkish
- two Turkish stamps exactly like those on the link provided above
- one Turkish stamp confirming that I paid taxes for entering the Turkey with a car (in Turkish only)
I didn’t translate anything of the above, and everything went smoothly at the interview.

Yeah, true many countries don't stamp the passport but they want to look at the countries you've been to that stamp passports.
For other trips, they would go by the information that CBSA has - they record every international arrival. They might also have a way of checking directly with the border/immigration authorities of the other country if they see they need.
