CANADIAN RULING:
Holding is 10 yards. The defensive block in the back is either the 10-yard variety or the 15-yard variety. We call them a "push in the back" and "block in the back", respectively.
The fouls are applied and balanced at the PLS (previous spot). If the block is a "push in the back", we've got 10 and 10 - therefore we just replay the down at the PLS (previous spot). If the block is a "block in the back", the offense is favoured by 5 yards from the PLS, which may result is a 1D.
Clock on the ready if before the 3-minute warning, on the snap if after the 3-minutes warning; for at least one more play in the same quarter.
