Experience getting back into Canada after overstay?

[hellothereme]

I'm from the UK, I overstayed I believe for a month, my visit visa expired December 1st, I wasn't actually aware as I never received a letter so emailed them my recipes from sending my application, however as soon as i found this out i booked flights, ill be leaving in 2 days!

The email also said i would have had 90 days to re apply, so does that mean those 90 days im 'safe'??

Has anyone had experience with re-entering the country after having an overstay? Do you need to declare it on the eTA and do the border ask you questions regarding the eTA?

I want to visit Canada again in a year to see my friends, I was staying here going to apply for sponsorship from my husband, only ever on visit visa, but we decided to break up, another reason I want to leave right now - I wanted to cancel my applications for visit visa/temp residence but found it it had expired.

The 90 days after you visa expiration is Restoration period. It is meant to be a grace period for you to leave Canada or to apply for restoration of status to IRCC if you believe you should continue to stay. Technically if you leave before the 90 days period ends, you are legal and compliant to the law (unless special circumstances like removal orders etc.)and shouldn't affect other visa applications in the future

You need to write to IRCC to cancel your application of spousal sponsorship when you have decided to break up.
