Stamps translation questions

[walktheline]

Do Russian/Ukrainian/Belorussian stamps on passport need to be translated for interview? The country/port names are all in Cyrillic alphabets, but the dates are in normal numbers with arrow signs indicate entry/exit and every entry/exit stamps are always in pair together.

How about Iranian stamps? The country/port names are all in English but the dates are in Persian numbers and Iranian calendar format.

My passport is full with hundreds of stamps from all kinds of countries. Would the officer really want to check all stamps on my passport one by one? I guess they need at least a few hours to figure them out. Even so I still have many trips in Europe uncountable from passport as these countries don't stamp my passport.

So to make officer's life easier, I prepared CBSA report for all my entries and a sheet of all my departure flights, do they accept these instead of checking stamps on passport? CBSA report should be OK as it's official document but my own sheet of departure flights is not official document but prepared from my own flight records.

What I was told on the interview was that any stamp that is not in English or French has to be translated. That would include destination and date.

My point is in my situation, even with hundreds of stamps enough to blow up officer's head, even all of them are translated, they still cannot show all my trips as still many trips are un-stamped, so is it really make any sense to check my passport? Or would they consider my own sheet of flight records as alternative?
