While it isn't uncommon to have a dead person named in a warrant, the warrant will need to be amended or altogether "quashed" if the person named on the warrant is dead. Last I heard, you can't arrest a corps!

In Canada what is the difference between a search warrant and a general warrant?

A search warrant allows police to search for property and seize specific property, at a specific time, for a specific reason; In Canada a "General Warrant" allows the police to use a particular technique or method, (that without Judicial authority would be considered a breach of the persons rights) to obtain information relating to an offense. An example of a General Warrant would be: Authorization for the police to conduct a perimeter search of a property to look for signs of say a marijuana grow operation (condensation, smell etc) These observations can not be physically seized (They are observations and not property) and therefore a search warrant is not applicable.

What if the search warrant has a persons name on it who doesnt even live at residence the warrant was served?

A warrant to search a residence does not need to state the name, or names, of any resident. Although the warrant may state the name of an individual believed to be located upon that property. It only needs to be issued to the address or description of the property upon which it is to be served. However, incorrect information contained within a warrant is potential cause to exclude evidence obtained during the search based upon that warrant. The defense would have to show that the incorrect information was included by law enforcement in bad faith.
