Julian was not canonized. He is what we call a pre-congregational saint.
Until the 11th or 12th century there was no formal proceedure for
declaring saints. If a local bishop decided that popular acclaim and
devotion seemed to indicate that a certain person deserved sainthood, he
could proclaim that person a saint. This was often done with little solid
evidence. About 900 years ago the Church decided that the decision should
be made in Rome and removed the declaration of saints from local control.
Eventually, this office became known as the Sacred Congregation for the
Causes of Saints and its members are chosen by the pope. They examine
documents submitted by churches, clergy and religious groups from around
the world and make a decision based on all the evidence. This includes
any miracles that may have occurred due to the intercession of the
candidate. They then submit their findings to the pope who has the final
say-so.
Those who had been declared saints before the institution of the
canonization proceedures are called "pre-congregational" and most kept
their saint status after the office was instituted. However, over the
years some have had their official status as "saint" revoked. Ages ago
there were some very questionable individuals listed as saints. Somehow,
even Buddha was "converted" to Catholicism and made a saint, something
that was a pure fable. He was removed from the calendar long ago.
