Unlikely

Don't Canadians get 6 months per entry? So no, no overstay.

 

Your bigger problem is the amount of time you have spent in the US - what genuine tourist spends nearly 4 months on holiday, goes back home for 7 days then spends another 4 months on holiday?

 

Not a genuine one, that's for sure. I would not be surprised if you were denied entry or at least questioned heavily on how you are able to fund so much time away from home without working.

I just didn't mention it, but yes I did get denied entry after returning from the 112 days.
They said I was inadmissible due to lack of ties to my country which makes a lot of sense, lol. It looked like I was trying to illegally immigrate which I understand why it looked like that. He let me withdraw my application of admission to the US. I haven't returned and I'm back to working. No mention of overstays though... 

Don't know who to contact/inquire regarding if I do have an overstay

Well there you go, proved my point exactly.

 

As mentioned Canadians get 6 months per entry so there is no overstay. Just leave a considerable amount of time since you last visited to try again.

Can you explain why I would be flagged though? 

When you were turned around. Those notes are in the system and will be for a very long time. It is recorded that you withdrew your request to enter. That is a sign that they did not believe you were just a tourist.

Ohh, that explains a lot. Will it affect any possible visas later on?

It would depend on the visa. Not likely but one can never be sure.

It might.

 

You were fortunate they let you withdraw admission and not put you in expedited removal which carries a 5 year ban

How soon after the 112 days did you try to re-enter the US? 
Who did you say you were visiting?

If you do go back where would you go/ how long would you want to stay?

Pretty much two weeks after the 112 days, which was pretty dumb, lol. (lesson learned)

I was visiting my boyfriend who lives in New Jersey. We want to get married so we could start a CR1 visa but I wasn't sure if I overstayed or if it was something else. 

So, Cr1 visa is the type of visa I'm seeking for in the near future.
