Can Canadian citizens extend a stay in Turkey?

Airlines and border officers can ask for proof of onward travel regardless of visa status, and enforcement varies. Neither this dataset nor this page can promise you won't be asked — check travel.gc.ca and your airline's conditions before departure.
What happens if Canadian citizens overstay in Turkey?
This page's dataset covers entry status, not enforcement. In general, overstays risk fines and future refusals anywhere — get the corridor specifics from evisa.gov.tr well before your window closes.
