Canadians cannot be knighted...Canada does not allow its residents to receive titles, but Canadians settled in Britain who are being honored for services to Britain can be knighted (though even then the Canadian gov't protested Sir George Bain's knighthood despite his living in Britain for 30 years). People in the dependent territories/colonies are also eligible.
