Best Answer

St. Raphael was canonized because of his reputation for healing the sick, helping travelers, and being a protector of the vulnerable. He is considered a powerful intercessor for those in need, and his life and miracles have inspired devotion among believers, leading to his official recognition as a saint by the Catholic Church.

Saint Raphael is an archangel and had no need to be canonized as he was already in heaven.
Raphael was created by God as an archangel, a pure spirit, long before the universe even existed. He was created as a "saint." Saint is a title we confer on anyone in Heaven.
