Reply to comment by WastefulWatcher in TIL: The Government of Canada has an office that creates coats of arms for Canadian citizens, and that all Canadian Citizens may apply to the Governor General for a coat of arms and even an officially-recognized personal flag by ryguy_1
Canadians cannot receive knighthoods, nor any foreign titles.

The English monarchy can knight anyone they choose, it’s an old and often ignored Canadian law that Canadians cannot accept knighthood because it defies democracy.
This article has a handful of Canadians who were knighted and some that were “prevented” for political reasons:

Americans can be knighted, but it must be "honorary" and not confer any actual benefit.
That doesn't stop Canada from issuing its own titles.
