The court has also imposed a two-year social media ban and prohibited all contact with anyone under the age of 16.
Cumberland worked as a tennis coach in the Kentville, N.S., area before first being charged with luring a child in November 2017.
In 2018, he pleaded guilty to illegally entering the United States after being apprehended by U.S. border patrol officers in northern Maine.
