I have read somewhere that you might need to translate the stamps on your passport if those were not in English or French? Do I have to do so considering that I have no stamps whatsoever between my landing and up until this moment? would the officer need translation for those before my landing date?

Thanks Guys in advance

Yes you need to translate all the stamps that you have in the passports that you are submitting, even prior to your arrival to Canada.

Thanking you all for clarifying this, because I thought CIC looking only the last 4 years stamps in the passport.

It's always recommended to translate the stamps - just to eliminate extra hassle with the officers.

Never heard of getting stamps translated. Is this because any country might have stamped in other than English? Or is it just a clarification of entry and exit into and from Canada?

Regards.
