On conviction by indictment, a fine of up to CAD 100,000 or up to 5 years imprisonment, or both; on summary conviction, a fine of up to CAD 50,000 or up to 2 years, or both, though ordinary tourist overstays are typically handled administratively rather than criminally. Status restoration is available if applied for within 90 days of losing status, provided the traveler still meets the requirements of the status held and has not been issued a removal order. An overstay stays on record with IRCC and CBSA and is considered in any future visa, permit, or residence application.

A short stay can sometimes be extended before it expires by applying to IRCC; status restoration, described above, is the separate route if the deadline is already missed.
