You'll most likely be arrested and tried. If convicted (likely, as you said "if you assault someone", not "if you are accused of assault"), you'll be sentenced and may be sent to prison.
There's no law that says "Every dog gets one bite" or anything like that. You may get a lesser sentence if it's a first offense, but this isn't guaranteed and depends on the judge and the circumstances (it may also depend on how good your lawyer is).

What section is assault in the criminal code of Canada?
Section 265 of the Criminal Code deals with assault. Under common law assault involved the apprehension of violence. This is not to be confused with battery which was actual physical contact with another individual. For example, when someone raises their hands in preparedness to strike, which you didn't consent to, and you believe they will, that would constitute assault. However under the Code assault has been broadened to include actual physical contact as well as the threat of contact, whether directly or indirectly. Note, a mistake in contact is not an assault. Assault is a hybrid crime under the Code meaning it can be a summary or a indictable offense.
