I had my test done and passed (please update) but because i was abroad for over 183days the officer asked for a police background check from the country i was at. However, I wasn’t in one country the whole time, i was traveling, she told me to give her the dates of when i traveled and when i left ( because they don’t stamp your passport when you travel within the European countries ). Turned out that I’ve stayed in each country less than the amount of days and she didn’t say anything about it she just asked me to bring the original copy of my immigration sheet with me when i come to my oath ceremony beacuse I didn’t bring with me to the interview . Do you think i still will be asked for the police background check or not. Because if so it will take quite a time since i have no one in those countries.

The test was extremely easy. You have 30 minutes but I finished after 8 minutes. I feel like wasting my time memorize all those names and dates!
The interview was 4 minutes on average for each person. Just checking the originals and asking 3 or 4 routine questions like your job/home address/etc.
Good luck
Has officer asked about stamps transilation or so?
Reason i’m Asking this is my stamps/visas transilation will cost 500-600$ and i’m Bit confused paying this money or not ???
I know citizenship is everything but money, but i’m Thinking to pay this money as insuarance to clear my head!!!
I had heard about the translation before my interview but I didn't do the official translation because I didn't want to pay for that.My current passport had no stamp but the expired one had a lot!
So I translated every stamp on my passport myself, print it and took it with me to interview session. But the officer didn't ask for it at all. She just looked at both my passports and gaved them back to me.
That’s exactly my case, my old one has many stamps and visas in other langauage other than ENG/FRN
But it is really costly for certified transilation
So I guess it kind of luck, but you have good point here, I’m thinking if I transilated myself and take the paper just in case
And in case he/she asked for transilation, anyway I think application will not be delayed that much based on peopl’s Comments
I think that's the best solution. Furthermore, we live in Canada and here we assume that everyone is honest unless otherwise proved. So I think there is no reason that a officer does not trust your translation for a such simple issue like some date or a few routine words.
And in the worst case, you will face some short delays. I think for someone who is not in hurry it's quiet logical to do this.
