For a first time offender the usual sentence is probation. If the amount taken is low, a person could possibly qualify for a deferred judgment, which means probation and a dismissal of the case at the end of the probationary period.

It really depends on so many additional factors, such as criminal history, facts of the case, input from the victim, rehabilitation, repayment of what was taken, which court, which judge etc. The range is anywhere from probation to several years in prison.
