I overstayed my tourist visa in USA, never caught, went back on my own in 1997.

Went to Cyprus a few months ago as a tourist, was let in with no problem, left Cyprus before my visa expired.

If I go to Canada as a tourist, since it's one of the seven eyes countries, what are the chances of being stopped at the airport because of my previous overstay?

So you have an approved visa? if so you would have declared it in your application so no issue.

You won't be stopped at the airport with an approved visa however you must declare the overstay in your TRV / eTA application.
