Under Canada's Constitution, matters involving property fall under provincial jurisdiction. There are ten provinces in Canada, so there could be ten different answers to your question. The answer might vary significantly according to which province the property is situated in. It is possible that you might have a claim for a prescriptive easement, and possibly title to the property through adverse possession, but without a thorough analysis about the quality and duration of how you "maintained" the property, it would be impossible to guess with any degree of accuracy. Your best bet is to consult a lawyer right away. If you snooze, you can lose something you might otherwise have gained. The law frequently favours those who take steps to enforce their rights promptly.

It depends on your location. Squatters are treated differently in different countries.Generally, in the United States, there is no such thing as squatters rights. Squatters are trespassers. A vigilant property owner can have unauthorized dwellers arrested for trespassing. If a tenant paid rent at one time and remained on the property without paying rent, the landlord can commence an eviction proceeding.
