What are the consequences for overstaying in Canada?

[Sebastien1]

I understand that there are probably tons of different factors that can affect the consequences of overstaying in Canada. So i will narrow it down a bit.

-overstayed for less then 365 days past expected leaving date.

-individual was issued special circumstances upon entry into canada (i.e: a 3 month visitor visa).

Generally speaking, if a person disobeys their expected leaving date what are the circumstances? Do they need to stay out of canada for a specific amount of time before attempting to return? I understand the IO has the final say.

1.  If they get caught in Canada, departure order, exclusion order (1-2 year ban) deportation life time ban (need minister permission to re-enter)
2.  Not caught but on re-entry, probably refused admission for previous overstay, obvious won't obey Act/Regs.
