Saint Peter was not canonized. He was proclaimed a saint by early Christians because of his martyrdom by crucifixion. The canonization process did not come into existence until the 12th century. In the primitive Church, martyrs were immediately recognized as witnessing to the perfection of Christian life on earth, having shown the ultimate proof of their love for Christ by the offering of their lives. By the sacrifice of their lives for Christ, they attained Heaven in eternal glory and were indissolubly united to the Lord, the Head of the Mystical Body.
Peter was neither beatified nor canonized. At the time of Peter's death on the cross the Church did not have a canonization process in place. That did not happen until the 12th century. Peter would have been declared a saint by the early Christians who knew him and witnessed his life of heroic virtue and martyrdom. Martyrdom in the early Church brought an automatic saint title.
