Mark was declared a saint long before their was an official process in place for canonization. He would have been declared a saint by popular acclamation with the final approval usually being made by a bishop.
St. Mark was proclaimed a saint by popular acclaim over 1000 years before the formal canonization process was instituted.
The exact date of the canonization of St. Mark - The Evangelist, the Gospel writer is not know.
But there is a lot of other information available like:
Born: 1st century AD, Libya, according to one tradition, or perhaps Palestine
Died: April 25, 68 AD Alexandria
Feast Day: April 25
Saint Mark was never formally canonised, as he was recognised as a saint from the very earliest days of the Christian community.
