Hi,

Test invite letter requires to bring "certified translation of any passport pages that have visas/ entry/exit stamps that not in English or French".

Did everyone do this for the test and interview? Thanks
 
I did, but the interviewer was not interested in seeing the translations...

If they cannot decipher those foreign stamps they need to be translated otherwise, if they want to see the translation, it will prolong the process. My agent checked every stamp in my passport and there were many! Fortunately none in a foreign language.

Out of curiosity, are there agents who assist citizenship applications?

There is a possibility that the officer will ask for the translation.
It is up to you if you want to take the risk.
In my case, he asked for a translation to any passport that has a validity date after my landing date even if that passport was cancelled before my landing date.

And how did you submit them? By mail following your test? And if you don't mind sharing - did you have a lot of dates in arabic alphabet numbers or numbers of other non-latin alphabets?

I mailed it to them two days after the test. My ecas was changes to DM the second day they received the translation!

All the stamps that I have are in Arabic numbers. Some of the dates are in "Hijri" Calendar.

Yeah that is what I guessed too - persian calendar is a pain too for foreigners. Well, glad it worked out so fast for you - Thanks a lot for sharing.
