No specific requirements they ask, just I am asking for myself that do I need it to translate last page as well with other stamps which one‘s are not in English.
The stamps not in English need to be translated. I believe they sometimes used to ask during the interview at test (oath?) time (when this used to happen in person). Not sure what the latest is but folks would usually keep their stamped pages translated with them for that interview. It wasn't always asked for but some times it was, and then not having them meant further delays.

The above used to happen if memory serves me right.

If I get the time I will try to dig up a thread (but you can search around)

My understanding is that applicants from Oakville, Burlington, and Hamilton are all having their files processed in Hamilton office. When they requested a scan of my passport the email was sent from Hamilton Office and it was later confirmed from the ATIP I requested for my application.

Is the scan of your passport requested from everyone?, my wife didn't get that yet, and we have everything showing completed except for citizenship oath ceremony which is showing not started....I am thinking mayby that is the delay in oath...

I can assure you that the Hamilton office is indeed working and moving. However it looks like the 2019 and 2020 applications are unfortunately part of a backlog in Hamilton. I applied in 2021 April and I hope they are trying to hit the 1 year SLA with the 2021 applicants at the Hamilton office.

My timeline:-

  • Application sent: April 8, 2021
  • Delivered: April 12, 2021
  • AOR: July 13th 2021
  • IP: Sept 2nd 2021
  • Test Letter: Sept 15th 2021
  • Test Passed: Sept 30th 2021
  • Test Showing as Completed in Tracker: Oct 4th 2021
I just want to add that I did not receive a request for finger prints nor did my test invitation ask for any passport copies. I don't know if they will ask in the future though. So far so good. Keeping fingers crossed!
