I believe I was only allowed to stay 6 months at the time, but I stayed a few months longer travelling. I was young and stupid...I know this.

When I left I flew out. I was not questioned or anything upon arrival to Canada, just simply filled out a sheet stating that i had no goods with me.
They likely have no record of your entry if it was in the days when verbal citizenship declarations were permitted; they may have a record of your exit from APIS, but it sounds like you are in the clear since they would have no idea how long you stayed. I doubt the record of your APIS departure is even on their 'radar' so to speak.
