Technically, to be canonized means to be incorporated into the Canons (laws, beliefs) of the Church. To be canonized as a saint means that investigations have shown that the candidate is, indeed, in heaven. The process does not make saints, only God can do that. The canonization process simply recognizes the person is a saint.
The method by which the books of The Bible, both Old Testament and New Testament, were determined to be the authoritative works of God. These writings are considered to be penned by man but inspired by God (2 Tim 3:16).
Extreme detail is involved in this process as biblical scholars determine source authentication, original and known authorship, and consistency between manuscripts.
In most modern churches today, the Canons are considered to be "closed", meaning that God does not add to or take away from the writings of the bible, and instead chooses to work in a persons lives in other ways.

a canoe is a type of boat but very small usually only one or two people fit in it depending on how big it is.
More properly Canonical, for lack of a better word- with official approval- the canonical books of the Bible, for example.
Canonicity means that a book belongs in the Bible. Inspiration is what the author had when a book of the Bible was written.
so tough question,
Sirach is the name of one of the books of the Old Testament, and was written in Hebrew between 200 and 175 B.C. It does not appear in most Protestant Bibles although it has always been recognized as inspired Scripture by the Catholic Church. Protestants Reformers denied its canonicity in the 16th century after the Catholic Church repeated its affirmation of the book's canonicity.

Luke: I used to bullseye Womp Rats in my T-16 back home, and they're not much bigger than two meters.A "T-16" is a TYPE of ship, rather than the name of a specific ship. At least in the movies he didn't say the name; it's possible he may have done so in one of the innumerable novels, but those are of questionable canonicity.
The issue of canonicity in the Bible (i.e. whether a sacred book becomes part of the Bible or is excluded) is not divinely determined, so the answer as to why or why not a certain book is in the Bible does not come to God, but to man. Normally, Lamentations is part of the canon as it was authored (traditionally) by Jeremiah who is considered a well-within-canon prophet. Its writing was also (traditionally) contemporary with other works such as Ezekiel and Daniel during the Babylonian Captivity.
1.The rule of faith criterion which states that nothing shall be accepted which is at variance with accepted scriptures or that teaches false doctrine. 2. Apostolic Authority. A work must have been authored by an Apostle or immediate follower of an Apostle in order to become part of the canon. 3. Inspiration. Although there is no instance of inspiration being used as a criteria of canonicity, something that was inspired could be canonical, but something not inspired could never be canonical.
Although Second Peter was one of the books that there questions about, it was accepted by the entire Church by 350 A.D. and was included in St. Jerome's translation of the entire Bible. It was definitely listed in the Council of Rome, and Pope Damascus list of the Canon near the end of that century. In the East there were some doubts of the canonicity of 2 Peter, 2 and 3 John, Jude, and the Apocalypse; but none of these were ever questioned by the Church, and they were all reaffirmed infallibly by the Council of Trent.
At some point, the Book of Revelation to John of Patmos was associated with the writings of the Johannine school solely because of the name, John, by which it was signed. Most modern scholars say that the book was written after the 90s, and in early times there was controversy about including it in the New Testament canon.Irenaeus regarded it as a spurius book. The second century Roman teacher, Gaius, also called Revelation "heretical" and claimed it was written by John's worst enemy, Cerinthus.Even after it was blessed for posterity by inclusion in Athanasius' list of apostolic writings, there were doctors of the church who questioned its authenticity and disputed its theology.
66: 39 in the Old Testament, 27 in the New Testament for the Protestant Bible. There are 73 books in Holy Christian Scripture (Bible) in the Catholic and Orthodox churches. The Gutenberg Bible, printed over time between 1452 and 1453 contains all 73 books of Holy Christian Scripture. During the Protestant movement, various Protestant denominations removed 7 books from the Bible, which are called deuterocanonical or apocrypha. Some allege that the Council of Trent "added" the 7 books. This claim is considered false by the Catholic church. The Council of Trent occurred in 1545, almost 100 years after the printing of the Gutenberg Bible. The Council of Trent reaffirmed the authenticity ("canonicity") of the 7 books removed by sects of the Protestant movement. Here is a link where one may view various pages of all of the books of an original edition of the Gutenberg Bible. See related link.
