Invited Brother-in-law not returning in time

You are not legally obligated if they overstay even though you gave him an invitation letter unless you signed an oath as part of your invitation. Although your invitation letter for your mother will have low credibility if CIC has on file that your bro in law has overstayed his welcome in Canada. You shouldn't issue an invitation letter to someone you dont trust will go back although I'm sure you did it with good intent.
Good to call CIC and ask them on what to do. CIC understands that you provided the invitation letter in good faith and some people do mis-use it. I'm sure it has happened many times.

If he wants to live here so much, then tell him to return home and apply as a skilled worker. Don't try to cheat the system.
And no, there won't be legal implications for you, but you should really tell your brother about the downsides of living illegally. No social insurance number, therefore he will have hard time finding a good paying job, or any job for that matter, as companies who hire illegals face stiff penalties. Since illegals risk deportation, they are sometimes subject to blackmail or paid very poorly. When he gets sick or injured, he will not be covered. He will not be able to get a driver's license or a bank card.
And finally, if he decides to try driving by himself and gets pulled over by police, it's pretty much game over for him, as he will be caught and deported. Same applies if he ever gets in trouble with the law, or if someone discovers he's an illegal and reports him.

I think you can just call CIC and they will give further instructions. Don't call police, as it's not an emergency or anything too serious.
I commend you for what you're about to do, even though he's your brother-in-law, there's no excuse for breaking the law and cheating the system, especially when hundreds of thousands of immigrants are working hard to enter Canada legally.
